If you receive a DWI, you need to take the court-mandated program. The type of program you take depends on two factors \u2014 your age and your number of prior offenses. One of the courses is targeted at juvenile offenders, while another is for adults. However, all courses are regulated by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have questions about the education program, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/colepaschalllaw.com\/contact\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"288\">contact Cole Paschall Law to learn more<\/a>.

Typically, the course takes place over several days. You shouldn\u2019t hesitate to schedule your course because there is a time limit. If you don\u2019t complete the course within 180 days of your probation, you will face penalties. The court could suspend your license and revoke your probation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You must pay for the course, and the fee varies depending on the provider. Most providers charges between $90 and $125. In some cases, you may be able to pay for some of the course up-front and pay the remainder upon completion of the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t speak English, you can find any of the courses available in Spanish. Because different providers offer the courses, you might be able to find one that meets your scheduling needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"First-time_Offender_Course\"><\/span>First-time Offender Course<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t have any prior DWI offenses, you will take a course for first-time offenders. This program has the goal of making you more knowledgeable about the effects of driving under the influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the course will teach you how to track your drinking patterns. You may learn how to prevent drinking and driving incidents in the future. The course teaches people to know the signs of alcohol dependency and may shed some light on your own personal problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Multiple_Offender_Course\"><\/span>Multiple Offender Course<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Individuals with multiple DWI offenses need to take a program tailored to them. Because of the history of alcohol abuse, the people who take this course are taught how to stop living a lifestyle of alcohol abuse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the course, you will learn how to decide whether or not you need treatment for substance abuse. You also learn how to prevent future issues with alcohol or other substance abuse. Specifically, the course teaches:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>How 12-step programs can help<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Options for treatment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoiding peer pressure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>DWI prevention<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Effect of alcohol abuse on family<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Preventing relapses<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This program is longer than the first-time offender course. Usually, it takes place over seven weeks and lasts for a total of 32 hours. For this reason, it\u2019s also more expensive than the first-time offender course. On average, it costs about $300.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Course_for_Minors\"><\/span>Course for Minors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are under the age of 21 and caught drinking and driving, you need to take a special program. While you take this program, you will learn how to be more aware of the effects of alcohol on your behavior.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You learn about the penalties that come with underage drinking. Additionally, you will learn about the severity of drunk driving accidents and how to recognize substance addiction. This course is only about six hours long. Typically, it is split into two days of material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_the_Help_You_Need_Contact_an_Experienced_DWI_Lawyer_Today\"><\/span>Getting the Help You Need Contact an Experienced DWI Lawyer Today<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tarrant County is ranked fourth for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.texasimpaireddrivingtaskforce.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Tarrant-County-DUI-Facts-v2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DUI crashes in Texas<\/a>.
