Enroll in our DWI Education Class, now available every weekend—start your journey to a brighter future today!
Texas approved 12 hour dwi education program is mandatory for anyone charged with a 1st Offense or Obstruction of a Highway who is convicted and sentenced to community supervision (e.g., probation or deferred adjudication). Many people take dwi class in advance of any court appearance.
Specific course topics include drug and traffic safety problems, Texas laws relating to DWI, effects of drugs on humans, drugs and driving task abilities, chemical dependency, symptoms of dependency, sources of assistance, costs of DWI, and decision making.
Article 42.12, Section 13(h) of the Code of Criminal Procedure mandates that individuals convicted of a first offense of driving while intoxicated (DWI) and placed on probation must participate in an educational program. It is imperative for the individual to complete this program successfully.
Failure to do so within 180 days from the probation grant date, unless an extension is granted, will lead to the revocation of the offender’s license. The license cannot be reinstated until the educational program is satisfactorily completed. The standard duration of the program is 12 hours.
Duration: 12 hours total, split into 4 hour sessions over 3 consecutive days. Friday, Saturday and Sunday
Online Format: Conducted via Zoom for convenient access.
No Driving: Participants cannot operate vehicles during the course.
Evaluation Requirement: Final score must meet or exceed 70%.
Certificate Issuance: Emailed within 10 business days upon course completion and form submission.
Zoom Requirements: Camera must be active throughout the sessions.
Alert
No absence or late arrivals allowed. No exceptions. You will be dropped from the class with no refund.
Following DWI convictions, individuals are often required to attend DWI education programs as part of their sentence or probation.
Courts or legal authorities may mandate DWI classes as conditions of probation or other legal obligations.
1st time DWI offenders, individuals who are facing their initial conviction for driving while intoxicated, may find themselves required to attend educational classes online in Texas as part of their penalties or plea agreements.
This mandatory aspect of their sentence aims to educate them about the dangers of driving under the influence and to help prevent future occurrences of such behavior.
Individuals who are confronted with the suspension of their driver’s license due to a DWI offense may find themselves in a situation where they need to fulfill additional requirements to restore their driving privileges.
Among these requirements, completing 12 hour dwi class online is often necessary.

Under Texas law, the Department of Public Safety (DPS) has the authority to revoke or suspend a driver’s license if the individual fails to complete the required DWI Education Class within 180 days of their sentence. However, a suspension can be avoided if the judge grants an extension, which cannot exceed one year from the date of conviction. To request an extension, a written motion must be filed in the convicting court. If you’ve missed the deadline for completing the DWI Education Class and are facing license suspension, it’s crucial to consult with the lawyer who handled your case for guidance.
If your license gets suspended for failing to provide DPS with proof of completing the DWI Education Class, you’ll require an occupational license to legally drive. Without it, you risk arrest and charges such as Driving While License Invalid or Driving While License Suspended. To prevent such scenarios, you must request an occupational license from the convicting court for the DWI offense. Seeking assistance from a lawyer experienced in occupational license cases can streamline the paperwork and process of obtaining an occupational driver’s license.
