OPINION

SUE WALKER, Justice.

I. INTRODUCTION

Appellant Samuel David Farhat appeals his conviction for the Class B misdemean- or offense of driving while intoxicated (DWI). In a single point, Farhat argues that the trial court erred by denying his motion to suppress blood evidence seized with a warrant.

We will reverse and remand.
