Do the El Paso County Criminal Courts at Law hear DWI cases?

Yes. The county names DWI first in the list of criminal case types those four courts hear, ahead of family violence, bond forfeitures, burglaries and prostitution. Felony-level intoxication cases go to a district court instead. Your order names which court your case is in.

How long is the El Paso DWI Drug Court program?

The county publishes a minimum of 18 months, for adults 17 or older with misdemeanor, felony or federal DWI offenses who live in El Paso County. It is a specialty court program with its own coordinator, not the DWI Education class — if your order also names a class, that stays a separate requirement.

Where does my completion certificate go in El Paso County?

To your supervising officer, unless your order routes it elsewhere. El Paso County CSCD, at 800 E Overland Suite 100, publishes nothing about where course certificates should be filed, so confirm it on the phone at 915-273-3344 or with the court rather than relying on a general web claim.

Court-Ordered Classes for El Paso County Residents — Online

People with El Paso County orders take our DWI Education, DWI Intervention and Drug Offender Education classes live over Zoom, from home, rather than driving across the city to a classroom. The certificate is a state Certificate of Completion issued under our TDLR license — El Paso County does not issue its own. Confirm the program name on your order with the court or your supervising officer before you enroll.

How does an online class work for a El Paso County order?

You attend live over Zoom at a scheduled time, with an instructor, from wherever you are. There is no self-paced video and no drive to a classroom, which is the part that matters when the class is in El Paso and you are not.

What you finish with is a state Certificate of Completion issued under our license from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. That certificate is not county-specific: it is the same document whether your case is in El Paso County or anywhere else in Texas, because the license behind it is a state license.

Confirm the program name with your court or supervising officer before you enroll anywhere. Only the court or your officer can decide whether a given program satisfies your order. We will read the program name off your paperwork and tell you which class it points at, but we cannot make that decision for your court.
