KELLER, P.J.,
filed a dissenting opinion in which MEYERS, J., joined.
Article 14.01(b) allows an officer to conduct a warrantless arrest “for any offense *415committed in his presence or within his view.” 1 In this case, the evidence is undisputed that the arrest was without a warrant and that a DWI was not committed in the presence or view of any police officer, since appellant was first spotted walking six to eight blocks from the accident. I therefore disagree with the Court’s holding that Article 14.01(b) was not violated.2
I respectfully dissent.
