The Harris County District Attorney’s “No Refusal” anti-DWI program will expand operations this week for St. Patrick’s Day.

According to District Attorney Patricia Lykos, county-wide operations will expand to help protect the higher volumes of travelers expected for a trio of area festivities, including the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, St. Patrick’s Day, and spring break. The “No Refusal” program will extend beyond the normal weekend deployments in conjunction with area law enforcement agencies that will be increasing DWI enforcement patrols.

Chief of the District Attorney’s Vehicular Crimes Section, Catherine Evans, said the expansion of the anti-DWI program coincides with the series of events which have been linked to drinking and driving. “Our advice is always to enjoy these special festivities and celebrations,” Evans said. “Just be sensible and make smart choices.”
