Texas Drug Offenders Education Program (TDOEP)

 

Section 521.371-521.377, Texas Transportation Code

(formerly Article 6687b, Section 24B, Texas Civil

Statutes) states that persons convicted of misdemeanor

or felony drug offenses will automatically have their

licenses suspended for a period of six months. In order

to have their license reinstated, they must attend and

successfully complete an education program on the

dangers of drug abuse approved by the department.

 

Failure to complete the program will result in the

license being revoked indefinitely until the education program is completed.

 

The standardized program is 15 hours in length and is designed to increase the knowledge of drug offenders by educating them on the dangers of drug abuse and associated illegal activities, to identify their own individual drug-use patterns, and to assist them in developing a personal action plan which will reduce the probability of suffering the consequences of future drug using and illegal behavior.

 

Specific course topics include history of drug abuse, drug/DWI laws, dynamics of drug use, drugs of abuse, how drugs work, cost of use and abuse, health issues, HIV, interpersonal relationships, deglamorization of drugs, values and behaviors, past and desired behaviors, getting control of your life, resource options, and personal action planning.

 

Important – Please Note:

 

     Approved Texas Drug Offender Education Programs are responsible for providing a certificate of completion to each participant upon successful completion of the program. The participant is responsible for providing the convicting court clerk with a copy of the serially-numbered certificate. The convicting court clerk will complete the CR-44 form (Supplemental Court Reporting Form) and forward it to the Department of Public Safety, who will then reinstate the person's driver's license.
