Austin Criminal Defense Lawyer

Central Texas is launching a new campaign to stop people from drinking and driving. The campaign is called “Drink and Drive, and Got to Jail” and police officials use a cop-cab to\help show there point; take a cab if you have been drinking or you will end up in the back of a cop car.

In 2008, one-third of all the fatal accidents in Texas had drunk drivers involved. The Austin Police Department has announced that they will be enforcing a “No Refusal” weekend on Labor Day weekend this year in order to prevent people from getting behind the wheel after driving.

A ‘No Refusal’ weekend means that anyone pulled over by police may have to submit to a blood test if they refuse to blow into the Breathalyzer. The blood is drawn by a nurse after a judge signs a search warrant if there is reasonable cause to do so.
