SUMMARY: In tonight's Fox 7 Focus, the Austin Police Department has launched a summerlong no-refusal DWI initiative, allowing officers to obtain blood search warrants for suspects who refuse breath or blood tests. Detective Jason Day discussed the effectiveness of this decade-long measure, which has expanded from holiday weekends to every weekend in recent years. The summer extension aims to tackle increased alcohol consumption during warmer months. Without no-refusal, cases lack vital blood alcohol evidence, impacting court outcomes. DWI-related accidents account for over 50% of arrests and a third of traffic fatalities in Austin. The goal is to deter impaired driving and enhance evidence collection for convictions.

The Austin Police Department has taken an unprecedented step to crack down on impaired drivers. They've kicked off a summer-long “no refusal” period, allowing officers to get blood search warrants for suspects who refuse breath or blood tests.

Home sales drop in Houston

Published

www.youtube.com – KPRC 2 Click2Houston – 2024-07-26 10:25:22

SUMMARY: In Houston, homes are staying on the market longer, with some sellers reducing prices slightly. Realtor Tangela Clark notes that while prices are dropping, many sellers are reluctant to lower them significantly. Rising home and flood insurance costs contribute to the market’s sluggishness, making homes unaffordable for many. Buyers are struggling to find low-interest rates of 2-3% seen in the past. Cash buyers are still active, but most people need assistance. Clark advises potential buyers to consult with knowledgeable lenders and explore grants and programs for affordability. She also suggests looking in outer suburbs like Tomball for affordable new constructions.

Realtor Tongela Clark says home sales in Houston have slowed down. Some sellers have begun to drop home prices while others hope to see a continued rise in prices.
