In Texas can police enter a residence with misdemeanor arrest warrant when they are denied admission?
Police with an arrest warrant can enter the home of the person named in the warrant if they have reasonable grounds to believe he is on the premises. They can search the premises in any place the accused person would be able to hide (they couldn't for example, look in the drawers of a nightstand, because no one could hide there). Police have to get a search warrant to enter the house of a person other than the one named in the arrest warrant.

The police got a search warrent in order to search the suspect's house. The suspect would not allow the police to search his home without a search warrant.
My boyfriend has a few warrants if they were to get a search warrant at his house and i were there could i get arrested also?
The short answer is no. In order for the police to search your boyfriend's house, they need to obtain a search warrant from a judge or magistrate where they demonstrate that there is probable cause that evidence of a crime in present in the house. If the police execute an arrest warrant, they can only search the reaching area where your boyfriend is found and conduct a protective search of areas in the house where a person can hide. Unless you have nothing to do with any of his criminal activity, then they will not and cannot arrest you. If they come to the house to arrest your boyfriend, just say nothing and do not impede what they are doing. If they believe you are engaging in any sort of criminal activity, they most likely will arrest you just to have leverage over your boyfriend. The larger question is what the hell are you doing with someone who has a "few" warrants out on him?

What does the forth amendment mean?
I'll give an example. When police come knocking at your door, demanding you to open up and let them search the house, you can say, "No, I need to see your search warrant." The police MUST have a search warrant in order to search your house and if they don't, you can kick them out! :) Hehe.
What is the purpose of a search warrant?
Only the police can apply for a search warrant, and only a judge can approve of the search warrant. The police only apply for search warrants when they have reasonable suspicion that their suspect is hiding something illegal in his/her house.
