Description
Appellant was convicted of the offense of driving while intoxicated and punishment was assessed at thirty days confinement in the Dallas County Jail and a $300 fine. Sentence was suspended and appellant was placed on probation for a period of two years. The Court of Appeals for the Fifth Supreme Judicial District reversed the conviction based upon that courts determination that the drivers license checkpoint where appellant was stopped and arrested was an impermissible pretext stop under Art. 6687(b), ? 13, V.A.C.S.; that court further holding the roadblock as conducted violated appellants Fourth Amendment rights. Finding the trial court erred in failing to suppress the fruits of the roadblock seizure, the appeals court entered a judgment of acquittal in the case. Webb v. State, 695 S.W.2d 676 (Tex.App. Dallas 1985). We granted the States petition for discretionary review to address the Court of Appeals holding concerning the constitutionality of the roadblock as well as to address its disposition of the case.
