DWI Probated
1. What will happen if I do not complete my probation?
Failure to complete your probated sentence may result in further action from the court.
2. How long does my DWI education course need to be and can it be taken online?
If this is your first offense, you will need to complete a 12-hour DWI education course. The course requirement for a repeat offender is 32 hours long. An approved DWI or Repeat Offender Education Program course can be taken online and may be located through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation website.
DWI Non-Probated
1. Will I be required to take a DWI education course?
The requirement to take a DWI education course is determined by the court.
2. I no longer live in Texas. What do I need to do to comply with my DWI education course requirement?
You will need to take a comparable DWI education course that is acceptable in your new state of residence and lasts for at least half of the 12 or 32-hour requirement. Our Enforcement and Compliance Service will review the education certificate to determine whether or not it is acceptable. NOTE: An approved TDLR DWI Education Program course may be located through Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. This includes both in-person and online courses.
