AUSTIN – Texas law that allows police officers to take blood samples from suspected
drunk drivers without a warrant is unconstitutional,
the state's highest criminal court ruled Wednesday.
The ruling could impact Texas' "no refusal weekends," including during the upcoming
Thanksgiving holiday, when officers target suspected drunk drivers and subject them to
mandatory breath and blood testing in the field.
