A Parker County district judge sentenced an illegal immigrant to a total of 40 years in a state penitentiary after the man pleaded guilty to three felony drunk driving charges Tuesday, Aug. 11.
Daniel Rascon-Sainz, 22, of Mexico, was convicted of killing Cora Estep, 71, of Azle, and severely injuring her sister, Wanda King, and niece, Ryan Jones in a Dec. 8, 2024, crash on Farm-to-Market Road 730 South between Weatherford and Azle. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison for intoxication manslaughter and 10 years each for two intoxication assault offenses. The sentences for the intoxication assault cases were ordered to be served consecutively to the manslaughter offense.
When he has served out his sentences, Rascon-Sainz will be deported to Mexico, according to Parker County District Attorney Jeff Swain.
