Drug and Alcohol Education Course
Until now, many thought that their only option for a Drug and Alcohol Education Course in Texas was the one offered in a classroom format by the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) or formerly known as TCADA. Recent legislative changes have clarified that courts and judges also have the option to accept Texas Education Agency approved Drug and Alcohol Driving Awareness Programs (DADAP) as well for violations covered by Section 106.115 of the Alcoholic Beverage Code. Some violations covered by that section include:
- Purchase of alcohol by a minor
- Attempt to purchase alcohol by a minor
- Consumption of alcohol by a minor
- Driving or operating watercraft under the influence of alcohol by a minor
- Possession of alcohol by a minor (MIP)
- Misrepresentation of age by a minor
Section 469.007 of the Health and Safety Code also gives courts the judges the option to use DADAP for other drug and alcohol related offenses too.
If you are considering attending DADAP online for your violation, please check with your court / judge first to make sure they will accept a DADAP online course certificate prior to registration.
The most popular reasons people sign up for the DADAP / drug and alcohol education course online include:
- Court Ordered – Alcohol / drug related offenses

Our online DADAP course was created 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 DADAP course addresses drug and alcohol education course requirements by thoroughly explaining how alcohol and drugs affect the body and mind and also how these substances can contribute to risky decisions behind the wheel, since the number one killer of teens in Texas is vehicular crashes.
More significantly, DADAP explains how attitude states control 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.
