WHEREAS, The El Paso County DWI Court Intervention and | ||
Treatment Program has earned its fourth consecutive recognition | ||
as a DWI Academy Court by the National Highway Traffic Safety | ||
Administration and the National Center for DWI Courts, and the | ||
program is being recognized for this honor at a ceremony on | ||
March 10, 2023; and | ||
WHEREAS, Overseen by Judge Robert S. Anchondo of El Paso | ||
County Criminal Court at Law No. 2, the DWI Court Intervention | ||
and Treatment Program has benefited area residents for nearly two | ||
decades; with the goal of helping to reduce recidivism among | ||
adult DWI offenders, the initiative works to provide appropriate | ||
assistance to these individuals through judicial monitoring, | ||
mandatory treatment, and intensive supervision; and | ||
WHEREAS, This specialized court is one of only six programs | ||
in the country to receive the DWI Academy Court designation for | ||
the current three-year term; it was selected for this prestigious | ||
honor by demonstrating exemplary practices, and it will serve as | ||
a national model and mentor for other such programs, offering | ||
education and training opportunities for new DWI courts, hosting | ||
staff from other jurisdictions for site visits, and playing a key | ||
part in developing and improving DWI court methods; and | ||
WHEREAS, Committed to improving the safety and | ||
well-being of El Paso County, Judge Robert Anchondo's DWI court | ||
program has set an inspiring example for other communities | ||
throughout the state and nation, and it is indeed deserving of | ||
recognition for its vital contributions to the justice system; | ||
now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th | ||
Legislature, hereby commend the El Paso County DWI Court | ||
Intervention and Treatment Program on its recognition as a DWI | ||
Academy Court and extend to all those associated with the | ||
initiative sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be | ||
prepared for the program as an expression of high regard from the | ||
Texas Senate. | ||
Blanco | ||
