A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT

relating to the execution of a search warrant for taking a blood

specimen from certain persons in certain intoxication offenses.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:

SECTION 1. Article 18.067, Code of Criminal Procedure, is

amended to read as follows:

Art. 18.067. EXECUTION OF WARRANT FOR BLOOD SPECIMEN IN

INTOXICATION OFFENSE. Notwithstanding any other law, a warrant

issued under Article 18.02(a)(10) to collect a blood specimen from

a person suspected of committing an intoxication offense under

Section 49.04, 49.045, 49.05, 49.06, 49.061, 49.065, 49.07, or

49.08, Penal Code, may be executed
by any peace officer
[
:

[
(1)
] in any county adjacent to the county in which the

warrant was issued[
; and

[
(2)

by any law enforcement officer authorized to make

an arrest in the county of execution
].

SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only

to a search warrant issued on or after the effective date of this

Act. A search warrant issued before the effective date of this Act

is governed by the law in effect on the date the warrant was issued,

and the former law is continued in effect for that purpose.

SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2025.
