The Austin Police Department is conducting a No Refusal Initiative that will coincide with the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday week. This initiative began November 18 and will be in effect through November 28.
The No Refusal period is an effort to enforce DWI laws, keep the public safe by encouraging drivers to make responsible decisions, and to apply for blood search warrants on suspects who refuse to provide a breath or blood specimen as required by law, police said.
No Refusal will continue each night from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.
