New Year DWI Crackdown

Matagorda County officials will increase patrols to catch impaired drivers during the New Year holiday. A wrecked car display at Highway 35 and County Road 457 aims to warn against drunk driving. Police Chief Christella Rodriguez urges residents to keep Texas roads safe. Lt. Stephen Lunsford highlights the high cost of DWIs and the ability to enforce blood tests with warrants. Last year, Bay City officers made four DWI arrests. Residents are encouraged to use designated drivers to prevent tragedies. Authorities stress that one bad decision isn’t worth the risk.
