Texas Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) Program is designed to help DWI offenders with the following:  

1. Increase knowledge about alcohol and drugs as these substances relate to driving skills;
2. Identify individual drinking and/or drug use and driving patterns; and,
3. Assist in developing plans which will reduce the probability of future DWI behavior.

"State law requires individuals convicted of a first offense DWI to complete a certified DWI education program or face license revocation. Individuals convicted of subsequent offenses are mandated to a 32-hour intervention program designed to prevent further substance abuse related problems and encourage entry into treatment where indicated.

Again, attendance is enforced through license revocation. Drivers convicted of a drug offense receive an automatic six-month license suspension, and reinstatement is dependent on completing a course on the dangers of drug abuse. Minors convicted of first or subsequent offenses for the purchase, possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages are required to attend an alcohol awareness course or face a six-month license suspension."

As noted, the conseqences can be more than just endangering someone else's life, but in many ways impact your life tremendously.

The cost of the class is $100.00 and is due on registration.
