Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Knowel Beeman, Jr., Appellant v. the State of Texas

October 9, 20022002 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 198

Summary

The Court held that Texas' implied‑consent statute does not forbid drawing a DWI suspect's blood when a valid search warrant is obtained, and therefore affirmed the lower court's denial of the motion to suppress the blood test results. Justice Johnson dissented, arguing the statute barred the draw, while Justice Meyers concurred, agreeing with the majority's result.
