The energy drink distributors accused of causing the death of Weslaco cheerleader Larissa Rodriguez have filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the family.

Glazer’s Beer and Beverage, LLC and Glazer’s Beer and Beverage of Texas, LLC issued an official response from the lawsuit on Monday.

They claimed the lawsuit lacks merit, the product contained proper warnings, and argued that Rodriguez misused the product and any injuries or damages, if any, were caused by her "own negligence and/or fault."

An attorney for Rodriguez's family said they are filing an amended petition.

Rodriguez died in October 2025 from an enlarged heart, which the coroner's report attributed to stress and "a large amount of caffeine" after she consumed Alani energy drinks, according to previous reports.

In the motion, the distributors argue they did not "design, alter, or modify" the product, they only distributed it to stores and the family isn't suing the company that actually makes the energy drink, Alani Nutrition, LLC.

The motion notes that Texas law protects delivery companies from being sued for a defective product, the family must prove the product was dangerous and the Glazer companies chose to sell it anyway.

While the family pointed to warning labels saying "not recommended for children," the distributors argued that doesn't prove the product was defective and they did their job by warning the public.

In the motion, Glazer accuses the family of only suing them and not the actual manufacturer so they can "evade federal diversity jurisdiction" and keep the lawsuit in a local state court.

A date for the judge's ruling on the motion to dismiss has not yet been set.
