How does one "refuse" ?? ..
Ok let me rephrase, yes they can refuse, and the LEO can then request a blood warrant based on his PC and evidence observed so far. The Judge issues warrant, blood is drawn, chemical BAC info is now on hand as evidence as well.


What am I missing on the "if she submitted to a chemical test, or acted like the rest of Travis County and refused."

Thanks

Aside from APD when they have no refusal days (days where they get court orders for everybody that refuses to comply with the law) when people refuse to voluntarily submit to the chemical test, it is common practices and they do not get a court ordered blood draw. There are often articles on this topic as the public is up in arms over court ordered blood draws. Everybody consents to that when they get the driver's license.

In reading the news today it said they had to get a court ordered blood draw, so she may very well have refused. All the attorneys advertise to refuse the test as this way they can beat the DWI rap and then fight DPS regarding loosing the driver's license.

I actually have an open records request in to the Travis County Sheriffs Office about this very topic requesting the arrest report, vehicle inventory, and any documents related to a firearm recovered during the arrest. It would surprise me greatly if she wasn't carrying as she is the DA of a major metropolitan area prosecuting trans-national drug traffickers. Also after the Kaufman County incidents it would surprise me if any DA or ADA wasnt carrying.

Not permitted? ...I must be reading that wrong..
Your saying by virtue of the job position they are forbidden from carrying a weapon?
That's just silly, I assume I'm taking the wrong meaning from your post

My agency gets blood on everyone and has an on call list for judges to fax search warrants to/from.

“It has come to my attention that federal law…exempts law enforcement officers, agents, and federal officials (such as prosecutors) from prohibitions on carrying firearms in federal court facilities. Yet I am told that as a matter of policy, federal prosecutors are barred from carrying personal self-defense firearms to their offices (and parking facilities) even if they hold a state-issue concealed carry license,” Cornyn writes in the letter.

“If this information is accurate and is a matter of federal court policy, then the safety and security of federal officials demands the policy’s immediate reconsideration,” Cornyn continued. “Prosecutor safety should start with enabling them to defend themselves from violent attack.”

Just a week or so ago, Cornyn wrote Holder to ask why AUSA (federal prosecutors) are not allowed to carry on Federal property even if they have a CHL.

The federal courts do not allow anybody to carry. We have to turn in our guns while in a LEO uniform..... pretty lame wanting a uniformed Leo to disarm.
