Local law enforcement agencies will be enforcing a "No Refusal" on New Year’s Eve.
The San Marcos, Kyle and Buda police departments as well as the Hays County Sheriff’s Office, Texas State University Police Department and the Department of Public Safety will be testing all suspected impaired drivers who refuse to provide samples for intoxicant testing by obtaining warrants for blood draws.
The "No Refusal" is an effort to reduce the impact of drunk driving. A qualified phlebotomist and Hays County Court at Law No. 2 Judge Chris Johnson have volunteered to be at the Hays County Jail to expedite the process for Hays County peace officers to seek and obtain DWI search warrants to draw the blood from those who are suspected of driving in Hays County while intoxicated, but who refuse to provide a sample of their blood.
