DWI Arrests and No Refusal Weekends
In Texas, drinking and driving incidents are not tolerated by court systems, and if you are convicted of DWI or DUI, you could face serious legal consequences. Texas has what are called “no refusal” weekends, in which law enforcement officials can demand that you submit to a field sobriety test. If you “refuse,” they can take you into custody and perform a blood test to assess your level of intoxication. Failure of one this test could result in serious legal penalties, and could make it difficult to take advantage of future school and work opportunities.
Sometimes, law enforcement officials make illegitimate arrests on “no refusal” weekends. If you or someone you know has been falsely accused of DUI or DWI, you should understand that fighting these charges is very important. A DUI or DWI on your record can seriously limit your job opportunities in the future, so avoiding conviction for a false charge is essential.

Field Sobriety Tests
If you are suspected of being intoxicated while operating a vehicle, law enforcement officials might make you complete a field sobriety test. These tests take many forms, such as:
- Walking exams
- Eye exams
- Breathalyzer tests
If you refuse a field sobriety test during a “no refusal” weekend, you could end up in jail.
