Aldrea Rogers, 22, was arrested Oct. 16 and charged with two counts of manslaughter after a Dallas crash killed Julian Harris, 23, and Madison Duren, 22.
Investigators say Rogers was driving 82 mph in a 35 mph zone when her Hyundai struck the couple's car as Harris attempted a left turn onto a major roadway.
Harris died at the scene and Duren later died at a hospital; Rogers' two young children were in her car and survived along with Rogers.
Dallas County jail records list Rogers' bond at $250,000 on each count, or $500,000 total, as friends and family mourned the recent SMU graduates active in Dallas theater.
A memorial service for Harris and Duren is scheduled for Oct. 31 at Southern Methodist University, while relatives in a separate Oklahoma DUI case also renewed calls for tougher awareness of drunk driving's consequences.
