                      STATE’S SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEF

                                     * * * * *

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:

      The State Prosecuting Attorney respectfully presents its supplemental brief.

                                   ARGUMENT

      The fourth issue granted in this case addresses whether a remedy lies for blood-

draws performed pursuant to a statute that, at the time, was deemed by this Court to

codify a recognized warrant exception. The ultimate issue is whether article 38.23(a)

provides an exception for good faith reliance on a statute or case law notwithstanding

article 38.23(b), which specifically provides an exception for good faith reliance on

a warrant issued by a neutral magistrate based on probable cause.

                                          1
       This Court typically adheres to the plain language of a statute unless it is

ambiguous or would lead to absurd results.1 Article 38.23(b) can be read to imply

that there are no other exceptions, as this Court did in Garcia v. State and Daugherty

v. State.2 Since then, however, this Court has recognized that, “The plain language

of Article 38.23, like that of the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution,

appears to be relatively straightforward[,]” but “is considerably more complex in

application than its simple words suggest.”3 Subsequent interpretation of article

38.23 shows increased reliance on its history and purpose. This Court’s interpretation

of article 38.23(b) is now an anomaly and should be reconsidered.

A brief history of the exclusionary rule

       Although the Fourth Amendment was ratified in 1791, the exclusionary remedy

was not created until 1914.4 At that time, neither the Fourth Amendment nor its

exclusionary rule were binding on the states.5 Many states, like Texas, determined

Crim. App. 1996) (“[W]here a statute contains an express exception, its terms must apply in all
cases not excepted.”).

             Id. In Wolf v. Colorado, 338 U.S. 25 (1949), the Supreme Court held that the
Fourteenth Amendment did not incorporate the first eight amendments, calling the matter

                                                2
that public policy favored not excluding evidence obtained without a warrant. In

Welchek v. State, this Court held:

   To reject such evidence for such reason or to completely return same to the
   owner and relinquish jurisdiction over same, would in nowise be a punishment
   to the officer but would rather be a hurt inflicted upon the people whose interest
   in the punishment of crime suffers because the court may think the officer
   should be rebuked for the manner in which he obtained the evidence.6

The suspect whose property was wrongfully obtained was entitled to his day in court,

but not until that property had played its role in “aid[ing] the court in arriving at a

correct conclusion in a criminal case[.]”7

       The Legislature disagreed. In 1925, it created article 727a, the predecessor to

article 38.23. Its language was just as plain: “No evidence obtained by an officer or

other person in violation of any provision of the Constitution or laws of the State of

Texas, or of the United States of America, shall be admitted in evidence against the

accused on the trial of any criminal case.”8 This Court quickly recognized that article

“closed.” Id. at 26. It left the mechanism for enforcing “[t]he security of one’s privacy against
arbitrary intrusion by the police” to the states. Id. at 27, 33. It was not until over a decade later
that the Court held, “Since the Fourth Amendment’s right of privacy has been declared
enforceable against the States through the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth, it is enforceable
against them by the same sanction of exclusion as is used against the Federal Government.”

               S.B. 115, 1925 Tex. Gen. Laws, ch. 49, 186-87. It was referred to as 787a
throughout the process.

                                                  3
727a “intended and did have the effect to change the rule adopted by this court in

[Welchek].”9 “[I]t is believed the courts of this state by such enactment were required

to make the same application of the principle involved as had theretofore been made

by the Supreme Court of the United States, and by the courts of other jurisdictions in

excluding evidence obtained in violation of the constitutional provisions.”10 “Thus,

by implication, the Legislature sanctioned the construction by the Federal courts of

the search and seizure clause of the Constitution.”11

       The Legislature’s intent for Texas exclusionary law to follow federal search

and seizure law is at the core of article 38.23. If the Supreme Court would not apply

the exclusionary rule in a given situation, it can only be because the purpose of the

exclusionary rule would not be served.12 And if “it is virtually irrefutable that the

Texas Legislature enacted 727a, which is materially identical to today’s article

38.23[(a)], in order to provide Texas citizens with the protections of the Fourth

purpose, we have repeatedly held, is to deter future Fourth Amendment violations. Our cases
have thus limited the rule’s operation to situations in which this purpose is ‘thought most
efficaciously served.’ Where suppression fails to yield ‘appreciable deterrence,’ exclusion is
‘clearly . . . unwarranted.’”) (citations omitted) (alterations in original).

                                                4
Amendment’s exclusionary rule[,]”13 it makes sense that its limitations were also

intended to apply.

The plain language of article 38.23 has been interpreted to better serve its intended
purpose.

       Almost no operative word in article 38.23(a) is interpreted according to its

plain meaning.14 The basic rule is:

   No evidence obtained by an officer or other person in violation of any
   provisions of the Constitution or laws of the State of Texas, or of the
   Constitution or laws of the United States of America, shall be admitted in
   evidence against the accused on the trial of any criminal case.15

       The first departure from plain meaning comes just three words in. As this

Court acknowledged, “there is a point beyond which the ordinary understanding of

‘obtained’ just does not apply.”16 As such, “Article 38.23(a) could be viewed as

       13
               Chavez v. State, 9 S.W.3d 817, 822 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000) (Price, J.,
concurring).
       14
                While only the first part of subsection (a), the basic rule, is directly relevant, the
“jury instruction” portion of subsection (a) is also not interpreted as it is written. The statute
plainly states that the jury shall decide whether “it believes, or has a reasonable doubt, that the
evidence was obtained in violation of the provisions of this Article” “[i]n any case where the
legal evidence raises an issue hereunder[.]” But juries cannot be asked to determine whether
article 38.23 was violated because, as this Court has made clear, juries are not qualified to decide
legal matters. Madden v. State, 242 S.W.3d 504, 511, 513 (Tex. Crim. App. 2007). Moreover,
the factual issues they are permitted to decide are limited to those that were affirmatively
contested and dispositive. Hamal v. State, 390 S.W.3d 302, 306 (Tex. Crim. App. 2012). This
interpretation makes the statute work, but is not at all apparent from its plain language.

               Daugherty, 931 S.W.2d at 270.

rejecting a strict ‘but/for’ test for causation . . . because the ordinary meaning of

‘obtained’ does not extend to . . . a remote, or ‘attenuated,’ causal relationship.”17 At

the same time that it utilized Fourth Amendment “attenuation” language, the Court

maintained—almost defiantly—that “[t]his construction is based on the express

language of Article 38.23, not on blind obedience to United States Supreme Court

decisions.”18 It refused to apply the “legal fiction” of inevitable discovery simply

“because the United States Supreme Court has adopted this fiction for purposes of its

own court-made exclusionary rule.”19

       The problem is that this Court’s “obtained” cases depend almost entirely on so-

called legal fictions in the form of recognized exceptions to factual causal chains.20

As pointed out by the dissent in Daugherty, “The resolution of whether the remedy

in Article 38.23(a) applies turns purely on a question of federal constitutional law.”21

               Id. at 269.
       20
                This area of law extends far beyond what ordinary people would consider
attenuated. Consider State v. Mazuca, 375 S.W.3d 294 (Tex. Crim. App. 2012), in which a valid
outstanding warrant that was discovered after an illegal traffic stop served to legally sever the
link between the illegality and the drugs obtained. This Court’s application of Fourth
Amendment case law was undoubtedly correct because no purpose would be served by exclusion
but, respectfully, a layperson might not agree that the drugs were not obtained by the stop.
       21
               Daugherty, 931 S.W.2d at 275 (McCormick, P.J., dissenting).

                                                  6
It is difficult to explain otherwise.

       Similarly, “in violation of any provisions . . . or laws,” which modifies

“obtained,” does not mean what it says. “Although the plain language of article

38.23(a) would suggest that evidence obtained in violation of any law must be

suppressed, . . . article 38.23(a) may not be invoked for statutory violations unrelated

to the purpose of the exclusionary rule.”22 “The underlying purpose of both the

federal exclusionary rule and article 38.23 is the same: to protect a suspect’s privacy,

property, and liberty rights against overzealous law enforcement.”23 Although written

after Boykin, the Court did not purport to call a plain reading ambiguous or absurd.

Instead, it referred exclusively to the original legislative intent of the statute and

interpreted article 38.23(a) accordingly.24

              Id. at 458-59 (emphasis added); see also Fuller v. State, 829 S.W.2d 191, 202
(Tex. Crim. App. 1992) (despite “the sweeping language of article 38.23” and the fact that it
“might be read in such a way,” article 38.23 only applies when the defendant’s rights are
violated).
       24
                See also Fuller, 829 S.W.2d at 202 (“we are simply unwilling, by statutory
interpretation, to work such a fundamental change in this State’s elemental law of standing
without a rather more explicit indication of legislative intent.”). In fact, this Court has said when
determining the meaning of “other person” that “there is nothing logically absurd about art.
38.23.” State v. Johnson, 939 S.W.2d 586, 588 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996) (“One need only turn to
a dictionary of the English language . . . .”). Judge Price and Presiding Judge Keller have
explicitly stated the opposite, at least when it comes to the scope of violations covered. See

          In light of this Court’s approach to interpreting subsection (a), it is fair to ask

whether subsection (b) is as plain as this Court implied in Garcia and Daugherty.

Both the intent of the statute as a whole and the history of subsection (b) suggest it

is not.

Article 38.23(b) was never intended to preclude consideration of other forms of good
faith.

          On a blank slate, it would be relatively easy to show that good faith reliance on

a previously approved statute or case law should prevent exclusion. If, for all intents

and purposes, the officer followed the law in effect at the time, he could not have

“obtained” evidence in violation of it. And both the blood-draw statute and the

exigency of dissipation were recognized by this Court at the time of the offense.25

defendant’s privacy or property interests - is to ignore the basic premise under which the statute
was created and would lead to absurd results.”) (quoting Chavez, 9 S.W.3d at 822-23 (Price, J.,
concurring)). See also 40 G. Dix & J. Schmolensky, Texas Practice Series: Criminal Practice
and Procedure §7:25 (3d ed. 2011) (p. 321):
   Roy [v. State, 608 S.W.2d 645 (Tex. Crim. App. 1980) (panel)] and other cases taking
   similar approaches are difficult to reconcile with the literal language of Article 38.23. Yet,
   given the number and nature of statutory requirements that might be violated in acquisition
   of evidence, reading the statute as applicable without qualification to all “laws” is arguably
   so absurd that it cannot reflect legislative intention.

                Beeman v. State, 86 S.W.3d 613, 615-16 (Tex. Crim. App. 2002) (“The implied

DWI suspects’ blood in the absence of a search warrant. It gives officers an additional weapon in
their investigative arsenal, enabling them to draw blood in certain limited circumstances even
without a search warrant.”); Karnev v. State, 281 S.W.3d 428, 434 (Tex. Crim. App. 2009)

Unfortunately, this Court’s consideration of these aspects of the good faith exception

was unintentionally prevented by passage of article 38.23(b).

       Article 38.23(b) says, “It is an exception to the provisions of Subsection (a) of

this Article that the evidence was obtained by a law enforcement officer acting in

objective good faith reliance upon a warrant issued by a neutral magistrate based on

probable cause.” As shown above, the current interpretation runs contrary to the

Legislature’s desire to provide Texans the same exclusionary protection afforded

defendants under federal law. Moreover, it does not serve this Court’s interpretation

of “obtained.” It is thus unclear whether article 38.23(b) was intended to 1) limit

good faith reliance to warrants only, or 2) limit good faith reliance on warrants to

those issued by neutral magistrates based on probable cause, thus breaking with the

Supreme Court’s then-recent decision in United States v. Leon.26

       Resort to legislative history shows that article 38.23(b) was intended as a

specific response to specific developments in the law. As the attached Senate Bill

Analysis says, the impetus for the bill was “[c]ases [that] have arisen in which

evidence has been ruled inadmissible against a defendant due to technical defects in

“quickly consumed” and “would be lost forever”).
       26
              468 U.S. 897, 915-16 (1984) (holding, inter alia, that exclusion of evidence
secured by a warrant that is ultimately held not to be based on probable cause would advance no
Fourth Amendment interest).

the search warrant or similar technical errors in the manner in which the evidence was

obtained.”27 It also noted that the Supreme Court had recently provided for a “good

faith” exception. By requiring probable cause and judicial review, the legislature

tailored the proposed statute to address the specific problem at hand: hyper-technical

review of warrants. This serves to limit reliance on warrants not based on probable

cause, but it was not meant to limit good faith reliance on anything else.

       Numerous judges recognized this to be the case when Garcia and Daugherty

were decided. “The reader might find it ironic that this legislative ‘exception’ to

Article 38.23 came about as a result of another erroneous interpretation of Article

38.23 by this Court.”28 “The addition of Subsection (b) of Article 38.23 can be seen

as an attempt by the Texas Legislature to both correct past rulings of this Court and

to bring our State in line with the holding in United States v. Leon . . . .”29 “Thus, the

addition of the specific exception was not, as the majority believes, intended to be the

               See, e.g., Polk v. State, 704 S.W.2d 929, 934 (Tex. App.–Dallas 1986), aff’d on
other grounds, 738 S.W.2d 274 (Tex. Crim. App. 1987) (“By its argument, the State would have
us graft upon a statutory exclusionary rule the good faith exception to a judicially created
exclusionary rule enunciated in Leon. We are unwilling to do so. . . . This court must defer to the
express dictates of the Legislature and arguments urging that in certain situations the
exclusionary rule should not be applied must, in Texas, be directed to the Legislature.”).

exclusive departure from the rule, but rather is intended as a clarification adding and

acknowledging a provision where this Court had historically failed to do so.”30 “The

language used implies that other exceptions to the Article exist; it states only that

‘good faith’ is one of those exceptions.”31

Conclusion

       Like nearly all aspects of article 38.23, the meaning of “an exception”—one

of many or, by implication, the only one—must be determined based on the original

intent of the statute. Garcia and Daugherty were decided before this Court began

interpreting article 38.23(a) in the way that best satisfies the purpose and history of

the statutory scheme as a whole. The best way to ensure that only evidence obtained

in violation of the law is excluded is to refuse to apply article 38.23 when an officer

or other person follows the approved law in effect at the time.
