AUSTIN -- The Austin Police Department has announced a no-refusal night for Mardi Gras.
Police say the initiative will run from 9 p.m. Tuesday Feb. 12 until 5 a.m. Wednesday.
APD says the DWI initiative is an effort to enforce DWI laws, keep the public safe, and to conduct blood search warrants on suspects who refuse to give a breath or blood specimen as required by law.
