I checked and the Ellis County Observer reported the 2nd DWI, and the case is a public record. Wikipedia mentions DWI in some biographies. In the US, truth is a defense against defamation. The Ellis County Observer report is the truth, therefore, the publication of this information is not defamatory--the Dallas County Criminal Records publish this same information online. The writer won the "Pulitzer Prize of magazine journalism, and is "one of Texas best know writers."
