AA and Outpatient Alcohol and Drug Treatment
Individuals who are convicted of
DWI in the state of Texas are required to receive a drug/alcohol evaluation
as one of the conditions of their probation or community supervision,
in order to determine the probability of them committing
multiple DWI offenses. These evaluations are also used to uncover and disclose whether
or not the individual has a problem with drug or alcohol abuse.
If you are a
first time DWI offender, you will be required to attend and complete an approved DWI
education class. If your evaluation showed you have a drug or alcohol
problem, or you have had multiple DWI convictions, then you also be required
to attend AA or an outpatient alcohol and drug treatment program available
through the probation department.

For the last 15 years I have specialized in DWI law and in representing
individuals, from all walks of life, who were caught in the criminal justice
system on charges of driving while intoxicated. I understand how emotional
and frightening a DWI arrest or conviction can be, which is why my team

I will take the time to thoroughly review your case, analyze all evidence
and reports, and based on my extensive knowledge and experience, advise
you on how best to proceed.
