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

Summary

The Court held that Texas' implied consent statute does not prohibit the taking of a suspect's blood when a valid search warrant is obtained, because the warrant satisfies Fourth Amendment requirements and the statute provides no greater protection. The Court affirmed the Court of Appeals' judgment. Justice Johnson dissented, arguing that the statute's specific requirements were not met and the blood draw should be suppressed; Justice Meyers concurred, agreeing with the majority's reasoning.
