H.B. No. 3602 amends Article 18.067 of the Code of Criminal Procedure to modify the execution of search warrants for blood specimens in cases of intoxication offenses. The bill allows a warrant issued under Article 18.02(a)(10) to be executed by any peace officer, removing the previous requirement that limited execution to specific law enforcement officers in adjacent counties. This change broadens the scope of who can execute such warrants, potentially increasing the efficiency of collecting blood specimens from individuals suspected of intoxication offenses.

The new law will only apply to search warrants issued on or after the effective date of September 1, 2025, meaning that any warrants issued prior to this date will still be governed by the existing law. This ensures a smooth transition and maintains the legal framework for warrants issued before the enactment of the new provisions.
