| BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
| SECTION 1. Chapter 18, Code of Criminal Procedure, is | ||
| amended by adding Article 18.067 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 | ||

| Section 49.04, 49.045, 49.05, 49.06, 49.065, 49.07, or 49.08, Penal | ||
| Code, may be executed: | ||
| (1) in any county adjacent to the county in which the | ||
| warrant was issued; and | ||
