Sorry, my mistake. I should have said she used her judicial powers to waive, and thereby violate, Texas Criminal Code 49.04.(6) which requires an autopsy for an unattended death, as mentioned at post #18 above. In that sense, she made a ruling that banned the application of that statute.
Better?
Inquest, not autopsy, sorry. But the inquest would determine if an autopsy was required.
No, it isn’t any better. 49.04(6) requires an Inquest, not an Autopsy.
