Is a person required to take a breath, blood or urine test when requested by a police officer?

Maybe! Our law deems that all persons who drive with Texas licenses have already conditionally agreed, after their arrest, to take either a breath or blood test upon being properly requested to do so by a police officer. This deemed consent only arises where the person has driven in a public place. Examples of public places are public roads, highways, beaches, parking garages and other places where the public or a substantial part of the public may gain access. There is no such deemed consent, or as it is sometimes called "implied consent" for a urine test.
