Attorney of busted Texans claims authorities went too far in drug bust.

Rosen claims officers, who had arrest warrants, searched some suspects' homes, though without ever obtaining search warrants.

"They had no right to search the home," Rosen said. "They had absolutely no right to search the homes. They had no right to rummage through the home. They had no right going upstairs."

What's more, Rosen insists, the officers used excessive force in conducting the arrests of two of his clients, breaking down doors and in one case, with guns drawn, forced a suspect's wife and 3-year-old daughter against a wall.

Rosen wouldn't reveal the names of his clients so authorities couldn't comment on specific arrests, but generally, the chief Fort Bend County narcotics prosecutor says on felony charges like these, officers are allowed to forcibly enter a home, that they can do what's necessary immediately to neutralize any potential threat."
