TEXAS PRESS ASSOCIATION
AUSTIN—On January
1, the bills approved dur-
ing the legislative session
last spring became law,
and for most Texans, the
dramatic change is in the
DWI laws. j,
The crackdown oil
drunk drivers was among
the most emotional of leg-
islative issues, and propo-
nents of DWI reform got
almost everything they
wanted out of the Legis-
lature.
Although lawmakers
resisted passing the “Open
Containers Bill,” which
would make it illegal for
anyone in the vehicle to
have an open beer can or
such, the following changes
were approved, effective
Jan. 1, 1984:
—Mandatory jail time
for repeat offenders: first
offenders may still get
probation, but a second
offense within 10 years re-
quires a minimum of 72
hours in jail, and a third
offense carries a 10-day
jail minimum.
—All convictions are
final: all convictions will
become part of the de-
fendant’s record, and not
erased after probation is
completed, as in the past.
—Felony conviction: A
third offense can be filed
as a felony, with a maxi-
mum jail sentence of five
years, and a fine from
$500 to $5,000.
—Increased penalties:
fines of first offenders
will range from $100 to
$2,000, compared to the
old range of $50 to $500.
Videotaping Suspects
—Videotaping DWI
suspects: counties with at
least 25,(XX) population
are required to buy video-
taping equipment to re-
cord the actions of DWI
suspects, as they arc
booked into jail, for use
in court.
—Refusing breath tests:
any suspect who refuses
to take a breath test faces
a 90-day automatic license
suspension, cycn if later
acquitted.
—Mandatory specimen-i
taking: officers are re-
quired to take a specimen
of the DWI suspect’s
blood, breath or urine in
alcohol-related traffic ac-
cidents where a person
has died or likely will die.
—Penalty for lending
car: any person who
knowingly lends a motor
vehicle to a person whose
license has been suspend-
ed for a DWI-related of-
fense.
—Forfeiture of vehi-
cle: a county may seize
and sell the vehicle upon
conviction of a fourth
DWI offense.
Senate RedJstrktiag
The long, drawn-out
struggle to redraw and ap-
prove new voting bound-
aries for Texas senatorial
districts came to a close
last week when a three-
judge federal panel ap-
proved the plan passed by
the Legislature last spring.
The plan is final until
lawmakers must redistrict
again in 1990.
Republicans and Mexi-
can-American groups had
opposed the plan, but in-
stead havedecided to con-
centrate Ifrorts on the
still-pending Texas House
and Congressional plans.

and harder to stick with
because of the confine-
ment.
If you gained a pound or,
two over the holidays,
exercise is the healthiest
and easiest way to return
to your regular weight and
stay there, notes Huess-
ner. Don’t give into the
cold, stick to your exercise
program.
Mobil Settlement
StateOfficials were striv-
ing last week to recon-
struct the $500 million
settlement of their lawsuit
against Mobil Oil which
was killed by the last min-
ute intervention of the
Exxon Corp.
The state seeks to find
a third party to buy min--
erai rights on the disputed
oil lease land. An anony-
mous third party had
agreed to do that in the
original settlement, but al-
legedly backed out when
Exxon’s delay destroyed
the end-of-the-year tax
advantages.
Senate Race
Two candidates for the
U.S. Senate aeat being
College Station: Cold,
rainy winter weather can
tempt even the most de
voted exercisers to skip
their daily walk around the
block.
"When you skip one day,
especially if you've been on
an exercise program for
only a short time, it just
makes it that much easier
to quit altogether", says
Dr. Mary Ann Huessner, a
health education specialist
with the Texas A&M Uni-
versity Agricultural Ex-
tension Service.
People with some types
of health problems such as
angina or other heart con-
ditions should stay out of
the cold. But most people
who exercise outdoors will
find it a benefit* she says.
Cold weather is the saf-
est in which to exercise, as our farms end up accounting for
long as you dress properly, 87 percent of all net farm income. X;X

DALLAS-Over 3000
North Texas taxpayers
may have some extra
spending money to pay this
year’s Christmas bills. “Of The 37 plays credited to
the more than 2 million Shakespeare contain 106,007
refund checks we mailed ^'nes ant* 014,780 words,
out this year, the post ,
office has been unable to
deliver 3,047," said Glenn
Cagle, IRS District Direct-
or for the northernmost
143 counties of Texas.
“The checks have been
returned to the IRS and we
are holding the refunds in
the taxpayers’ accounts
until claimed. The refunds
total $1,348,634.82 with the
average check being
$442.61. Amounts range all
the way from $1 to $14,-
000."
Changes Noted
On U.S. Farms
The face of American agri-
culture is changing. The largest
farms account for more and more,
of the total volume of U S. pro
duction
Cagle said that the most
usual reason for a refund
check's failure to reach a
taxpayer is that the tax-
payer has moved and nag
lected to notify the IRS
and the post office. “Even
moving to a different
apartment at the same
street address can be the
cause of the problem,” he*
explained.

He also called for farm-
