Important Message for Texas Judges and Court Officials
Many Texas courts are ordering people convicted of drug and alcohol-related offenses to attend the drug and alcohol education courses offered by the Texas Health Department. Recently the Texas Legislature adopted new laws that provide for a Drug and Alcohol Driving Awareness Program (DADAP), such as the one being offered at DADAP Online.com, to be used along with or in lieu of the courses offered by the Health Department. However, it is up to the discretion of the court to authorize the completion of a DADAP course.
Please click here to find out how the DADAP course can be used by your court as an effective remedial measure for drug and alcohol-related offenses. NOTE: Anyone who is considering enrolling in DADAP online for a drug or alcohol-related offense should contact the court to verify its acceptance of DADAP prior to enrollment.
Help Keep Texas Teens Drug and Alcohol Free
At DTA, we are dedicated to helping keep Texas teens drug and alcohol free. We do this mainly through offering quality educational courses on this website. DTA also encourages Texas judges, educators, and parents to visit the Partnership for a Drug-Free Texas to find out ways they can help accomplish this goal.
The Partnership for a Drug-Free Texas is Texas' branch of the Partnership for a Drug-Free America, a private, non-profit coalition of professionals from the communications industry. Through its sponsorship of the Partnership for a Drug-Free Texas, the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) has contributed significant amounts of money to advertising campaigns designed to keep Texas teens from using or abusing drugs and alcohol.
DADAP Course Overview
DADAP Online.com is the first and only Internet site where Texas drivers can take the Drug and Alcohol Driving Awareness Program online. The 6-hour online DADAP course was developed by Driver Training Associates, Inc. (the original developers of the DADAP classroom course) to provide drivers with a comprehensive overview of the damaging effects that alcohol and drugs can have on a person's mind and body, and how these effects lead to dangerous and often deadly driving situations. DADAP online also addresses several Texas laws that relate to the use of alcohol and other drugs while driving. DTA's Drug and Alcohol Driving Awareness Program is the only DADAP that teaches how traffic risks can be avoided through the proper understanding of a driver's attitude states.
DADAP Course Benefits
Texas law (76[R] HB 3757) authorizes a mandatory 5% Texas insurance discount (automobile coverage) for any Texas driver who completes a DADAP course approved by the Texas Education Agency, such as the DADAP course offered on our website. Furthermore, a Texas driver who completes a 32-hour Driver's Education Course or a 6-hour Driving Safety Course is eligible for a 10% automobile insurance discount, plus an additional 5% discount if he or she completes a DADAP course. This amounts to a total insurance discount of 15%!
DADAP is also required by certain courts when an individual has been convicted of an alcohol and / or traffic related offense. Texas law authorizes attendance of a DADAP course for satisfaction of several different types of offenses.
