Mardi gras is a fun time for Galveston. Galveston hosts the third largest mardi gras celebration in the country. More than 300,000 people are expected to attend this year, especially considering the nice weather that is expected.
This year Galveston County has decided to participate in a “No Refusal Weekend” for driving while intoxicated (DWI) during both weekends of mardi gras. Under the no refusal program, if an officer has probable cause to believe that you are driving while intoxicated in Galveston County then he may apply for a search warrant for your blood. A mobile station with a prosecutor and judge will be preparing and signing search warrants for the blood draws.
