Shannon EdmondsHow could it? PC 31.03(c) specifically says "for the purposes of Subsection (b) ...." As in, PC 31.03(b).
Sounds pretty limiting to me.

Adam MueryMy hope was that there might be case law supporting the applicability since UUV is a lesser included of that specific provision.
Griffin v. State, 614 S.W.2d 155
