What is DOEP or TXDOEP?
DOEP stands for Drug Offender Education Program. DOEP (also referred to as TXDOEP) is a structured 15-hour course conducted over several days that covers topics such as:
- History of drug abuse
- State and federal drug laws
- Dynamics of drug use
- How drugs work
- Cost of drug use and abuse
- Related health issues
- Resources available to stem drug use and abuse
- Personal action planning
DOEP course providers must be certified by the Texas Department of State Health Services in order to offer drug treatment programs and classes that will satisfy your probation requirements. So while you might find other vendors when searching on the Internet, it is best to stick with the Tarrant County approved DOEP list. This list is vetted and published by the Tarrant County Community Supervision and Corrections Department (CSCD).
Who Needs to Take a DOEP Class?
Charged with misdemeanor or felony drug charges: Under certain special circumstances, your lawyer can advise you to take a DOEP course or another drug offender education program while your case is still pending as an act of good faith that might lead to a dismissal or other special consideration by the district attorney. Similarly, your attorney may also recommend that you complete and provide the results of three or more clean UAs (urinalysis tests) as proof that you have completely discontinued any drug use.
Under community supervision for drug charge: As a condition of probation (deferred or adjudicated) the district attorney will recommend (or the judge will require) completion of a DOEP class within a certain time period. Make sure you attend a course that has been approved by the Tarrant County Community Supervision and Corrections Department.
Convicted of a drug-related offense: If you are convicted of a drug crime your Texas driver’s license will be suspended for six months and will not be reinstated until you have completed a state-approved Texas drug offender education program.
