Does the state of Tx have a law that allows them to get a search warrant and forcefully take blood in a case of vehicular homicide? If someone is prescribed Valium and they do take it at night, then at 6 am there is an accident involving a fatality, are the blood tests designed to determine the amount of the prescribed drug in the persons blood ?

Yeah, I see no reason to not take you at your word. I didn’t see that that was another poster that I replied to. I’m just trying to inform you and others in case some dumb shite like this happens to anybody else that may read this thread.

I hear ya, and I know I didn’t make every decision perfectly, which I why I asked for legal counsel multiple times. I just never got it.

I’m not sure about that. If you’re taking your medication as prescribed there’s nothing that says you can’t operate an automobile. The warnings on prescription bottles say not to operate machinery until you know how the medication effects you, so I don’t know if it’s even technically illegal to drive while taking your medication as long as it’s taken as written.
If every person on some type of benzo or opiate in this country couldn’t legally operate an automobile there’d be no traffic.

I can ask around tomorrow, but it would be personal contacts. The few legal clients I have aren't in the area you need. I'm hardly better than Google in this case unfortunately.

Gotcha, just if you can think of someone I’m forgetting let me know. Too bad all our buddies practice in LA.

Not sure on that, but my leaning is yes even if they had to get a duty judge to sign a warrant. Texas certainly has no refusal where you get pulled over and decline breath they take you for and do blood with the standing order. I will say that a prescription isn't a get out of jail free card. Just because I'm prescribed 2 pills a day, doesn't mean I didbt take a handfull and cannonball them. You can be impaired under legally prescribed medication in the eyes of DUI.

Do you think that only applies to operating a combine or something?
Machinery includes a vehicle.

Actually no, it was 10:30AM and I wasn’t intoxicated. The only evidence they have is the little field sobriety test which I’m trying very hard to understand how I didn’t pass it considering I was fricking sober.
Do you have a stigmatism?
Eyes don't lie unless you have a stigmstism

I’m not a fricking idiot, I know the definition of machinery when it comes to Rx labels.

I do have bad eyes, I had LASIK; whether or not that can throw something off I don’t know.

You should have never told the officer that you are in favor of defunding the police.

Thanks for the recommendation.
I had an unrelated charge in a small town in Texas years back (Goliad) and was actually able to just go in and speak to the city attorney with no lawyer or anything and he wound up dropping one charge and reducing the other. I’m curious if it’s worth an attempt this time around to just go talk to the DA and see if we can work something out. I could also probably leverage my relationship with the Orleans Parish DA’s Office; I did help them in two murder trials, I think they can do me a small favor.

Well when they thought I was running from them I told them I have the utmost respect for law enforcement and thought the whole defund movement was bullshite and that cops deserved more respect.

Did we talk about how I didn’t hear the sirens for 5+ miles and didn’t know I was being pulled over until I finally saw the lights (it was an undercover car) and they preformed a felony stop and pulled me out at gunpoint?
