Joint task force watching for impaired drivers this weekend in The Woodlands

THE WOODLANDS, Texas -- Montgomery County Precinct 3 Constable Ryan Gable announced a joint DWI Task force over the Spring Break weekend, Friday March 17 through Sunday March 18.

The joint effort with the Montgomery County Precinct 3 Constable’s Office and the Department of Public Safety target drivers operating motor vehicles while under the influence of alcohol or other substances, illegal or otherwise.

“We are proud to partner with the Department of Public Safety," Gable said. "We want the public to know we are dedicated to keeping Montgomery County and the Precinct 3 community safe."

Gable said this will be a "no-refusal" weekend in Montgomery County. That means the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office will issue warrants to draw blood samples of any violators that refuse to comply with a request for specimen of breath or blood.

"We want Spring Breakers to enjoy this festive time of year, but please be responsible," Gable said. "If you drink, think before you get behind the wheel of a motor vehicle. Have a designated driver. All too often there a senseless loss of life due to an intoxicated driver upon the roadway that destroys families and futures."
