A first-time DWI charge in Travis County doesn't have to define your future. With the right legal guidance, you may qualify for the Pre-Trial Diversion Program (PDP)—a program designed to help eligible individuals avoid a conviction by meeting specific conditions.
At Jason S. English Law, PLLC, we're here to help you navigate your DWI charges and explore all available options, including PDP. Jason English, a former prosecutor and experienced DWI defense attorney, understands how to guide you through this process and fight for the best possible outcome.
What is a Pre-Trial Diversion Program?
A Pre-Trial Diversion Program allows first-time DWI offenders to complete certain requirements in exchange for dismissal of their charges. These programs are handled before trial, offering a second chance without the lasting consequences of a conviction.
What to Expect During a PDP
If you qualify, you'll complete requirements such as:
- Using an Ignition Interlock Device (IID) or SCRAM alcohol monitoring for six months.
- Attending a victim impact panel.
- Completing a Counseling and Education Services (CES) assessment.
- Performing 25 hours of community service.
- Remaining arrest-free and abstinent from alcohol and drugs for 12 months.
While PDPs require dedication and come with costs (approximately $655), they provide a clear path to dismissal of charges upon successful completion.
Who Qualifies for a PDP?
You may qualify if your case involves:
- A first-time Misdemeanor DWI.
- No crashes or collisions.
- A BAC under 0.20.
The Travis County District Attorney automatically reviews unfiled cases that meet these criteria.
