Two of Suniga's children died at the scene of the crash, police said. They have been identified as 10-year-old Ricardo Hernandez and 14-year-old Angel Reyes.

Another son, 16, and a daughter whose age was not known were also injured in the crash. The extent of their injuries were not immediately known but they were not believed to life-threatening.

Suniga suffered minor injuries, according to police, and was taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas.

A police spokesman said Suniga's blood alcohol-content level was 0.18 - more than twice the legal limit.

The mother faces two counts of intoxication manslaughter, two counts of injury to a child and one count of intoxication assault.

Suniga was transferred to the Dallas County Jail on Sunday morning. No bond has been set.

Leslie Weaver, a spokeswoman for the Irving Independent School District, said the two boy who died attended Gilbert Elementary School and Austin Middle school. Grief counselors will be at each location on Monday, she said.
