Alcohol
Awareness in a classroom? Wouldn't you rather
take our ONLINE DADAP
course instead?
Texas law authorizes Texas
courts and judges to allow a person to take DADAP
online instead of a traditional alcohol awareness
or MIP course offered in a classroom. To
find out if you are eligible, contact the judge
or court that ordered you to attend your alcohol
awareness course and request their permission to
take DADAP online, then sign up by clicking
on the button below.
Have you been ordered by
a Texas judge or court to complete an alcohol
awareness course? If you have been searching for
an alcohol awareness program, you have probably
been told that you will have to take the course
in a classroom in two separate sessions —
3 hours each day. We've got great news for you.
Now you might be able to take the DADAP course
ONLINE on YOUR schedule instead of sitting in
a classroom for 6 hours!
That's right, DADAPOnline.com is the first company
to offer the TEA approved Drug and Alcohol Driving
Awareness Program (DADAP) on the Internet. This
6-hour alcohol awareness course is approved to
be taken by individuals who have been ordered
by a Texas judge or court to complete a drug and
alcohol education program and have received approval
from the court or magistrate to take DADAP in
place of an alcohol awareness course. DADAP has
been developed by Driver Training Associates,
Inc., Texas' traffic safety leader since 1977.
Which Texas
law authorizes the use of DADAP in place of a
traditional classroom only alcohol awareness or
MIP class?
The law that authorizes the use of DADAP for this
purpose is §469.007
of the Texas Health & Safety Code, which reads
in part, "In addition to using a drug court
program established under Section 469.002, the
commissioners court of a county or a court may
use other drug awareness or drug and alcohol driving
awareness programs to treat persons convicted
of drug or alcohol related offenses." This
law permits Texas judges and magistrates to order
a person to complete a DADAP course instead of
a standard alcohol awareness class. This is a
win-win situation for both judges AND offenders!
Since online DADAP is available to any offender
in any locale at any time day or night, there
is no need to worry about trying to locate an
alcohol awareness course, having to drive (or
even fly) hundreds of miles to get to the nearest
alcohol awareness course, or attempting to schedule
an alcohol awareness class when all classes are
full.

Registration for DADAP online is quick and easy
