Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Kenneth Lee Douds, Appellant v. the State of Texas
October 14, 20152015 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1060
Summary
The Court held that the appellant failed to preserve a Fourth Amendment claim challenging the warrantless blood draw, so the conviction is affirmed. The dissent argued the State, not the appellant, bore the burden to show reasonableness of the warrantless draw and would have affirmed the Court of Appeals judgment reversing the conviction.
