Are Sobriety Checkpoints Legal?

There are some states in which sobriety checkpoints are legal, however Texas state law does not currently allow for sobriety checkpoints or roadblocks to be set up for the purpose of having law enforcement try to determine whether an individual has been driving while intoxicated. Legislature has ruled that such checkpoints or roadblocks are a violation of people's Fourth Amendment rights and that nobody should be subjected to this type of unwarranted stop without probable cause.
