· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)

The Hidalgo County Sheriff's Office, in collaboration with various security agencies, is enhancing DWI enforcement during the Independence Day celebrations. This initiative, part of the 'No Refusal Initiative', will run from July 2 to July 5, 2026, aiming to prevent accidents and fatalities on the roads during one of the year's most dangerous weekends. Authorities will increase surveillance at strategic locations to identify and stop drivers under the influence of alcohol or other substances. In suspected DWI cases, they may seek quick court orders for blood tests from those refusing sobriety tests. Officials urge the community to celebrate safely and responsibly.
