Muniz v. State - 1st COA
A justice of the peace does have the authority under CCP art. 18.01(i) to grant a blood search warrant under CCP art. 18.02(10) if two municipal judges in the county are lawyers. CCP art. 18.01(i) allows any magistrate to sign a CCP art. 18.02(10) search warrant if the only judges serving a county who are licensed attorneys and who are authorized to issue art. 18.02(10) search warrants are district judges serving more than one county. Here the municipal judges are not municipal courts of record and therefore cannot sign 18.02(10) search warrants. Muniz v. State, 01-07-00129-CR.
