If you have been ordered
by a Texas court to attend a 6-hour drug and alcohol
education course for a drug or alcohol related offense,
you can now take the DADAP course online.
As the originators of Texas'
first classroom-based drug and alcohol education
course, Driver Training Associates, Inc. has developed
this online DADAP course to satisfy the stringent
requirements of Texas courts pertaining to the
education of drivers who have committed certain
drug and / or alcohol related offenses. Our online
drug and alcohol education course thoroughly explains
how alcohol and drugs affect the body and mind
of a driver and how these substances contribute
to thousands of traffic fatalities and injuries
each year. More significantly, the drug and alcohol
education course explains how attitude states
control each driver's behavior, and how the driver
can avoid the pitfalls of a DWI or other drug
or alcohol related incident by choosing to stay
in the Adult Attitude State, especially when behind
the wheel.

How can I be
sure this drug and alcohol education course is
accepted by Texas courts? The
drug and alcohol education course developed by
DTA was the first such program to be approved
for use in Texas by the Texas Education Agency.
Texas courts have accepted completions from our
classroom drug and alcohol education course for
many years. The drug and alcohol education course
has traditionally been offered through the following
entities:
Public
school driver education programs
Driver
training schools
Driver
safety schools
Licensed
DADAP schools
DTA's online drug and alcohol
education course (DADAP) was approved by the Texas
Education Agency in May, 2008. Articles 45.051(b)(6)
and 45.051(b)(8) of the Texas Code of Criminal
Procedure provide that "during the deferral
period, the justice may require the defendant
to participate in an alcohol or drug abuse treatment
program." This authorizes Texas municipal
courts and justices of the peace and their prosecutors
to refer clients to DTA's drug and alcohol education
course. Such referrals most commonly occur as
part of the condition of deferred disposition
when an individual has been convicted of any class
"C" misdemeanor offense that involves
the possession or use of alcohol or a controlled
substance.
