Forfeiting a Hit and Run Vehicle
Does anyone know why Art. 59.01(2)(C) and (D) appear to allow forfeiture of a vehicle used in a "hit and run" accident with injuries (as set forth in Section 550.021 of the Transportation Code)to be forfeited only if we can show that it was the "proceeds of" or "acquired with the proceeds of" a "crime of violence?" It does not appear to me that you could forfeit the "hit and run" vehicle on the basis that it was "used in the commission" of that "crime of violence" offense. Am I missing something here? Confused
