Arnulfo Texin is headed to prison for 25 years after a deadly late-night drive in southwest Oklahoma City that left two people dead and another fighting for life. Texin was sentenced on March 19, 2026, after pleading guilty to two counts of second‑degree murder and a DUI charge stemming from a head‑on collision on July 22, 2025, near SW 24th Street and S Agnew Avenue.
