The boat was going into the Laguna Marina on McQueeney Lake.  The mouth on the entrance to the marina is very shallow and Operator had raised the outdrive in preparation for the shallow water.  Just before entering the mouth, Victim asked if she could jump in the water and urinate.  Operator said "yes", but let me back up into some deeper water.  As Operator was backing up, Victim got up and moved to the back of the boat.  Victim got on the engine compartment cover on the rear of the boat and slipped.  Victim fell into the water and was struck by the propeller.  The propeller was in the up position and was a duel prop configuration.  Operator stated that he saw her fall and immediately put the boat in neutral and turned off the engine.  Interviews with the other occupants were consistent with Operator's statement.  Interviews with witnesses on shore were consistent with Operator's statement.  Victim was airlifted to University Hospital in San Antonio.  Victim suffered a broken femur,  numerous deep cuts to her right lower leg (Calf), dislocated knee, and severed Achilles tendon.  Victim stated to the EMS personnell that she had had 2 drinks and that she slipped and fell of the back of the boat.  I have attempted to contact the injured victim numerous times.  She didn't answer her cell phone, and never returned the messages that I left on her phone.
