A warrant in Harris county on no refusal weekends is drafted by a prosecutor based upon factors of intoxication stated by the officer. Once the warrant is complete, then a judge looks at it and either signs it or not. And contrary to your belief, this prosecutor in particular has actually had judges REFUSE to sign blood warrants based upon one thing or another.
