New Texas Blood Draw Law Starts Sept 1st 2009 [aOvWIJehWxo]
Texas Mandatory Blood Draw Law Implementation
Texas law enforcement will no longer require search warrants to perform blood draws in specific crash scenarios starting September 1. The mandate applies if a crash involves an injury, a child passenger, or a driver with prior DWI convictions. Williamson County District Attorney John Bradley advocated for the change following a case involving Gary Gibbs, a repeat offender who refused testing after his eighth DWI arrest.
