WHEREAS, The El Paso County DWI Drug Court Intervention and |
|
Treatment Program has earned its second consecutive recognition as |
|
a DWI Academy Court by the National Highway Traffic Safety |
|
Administration and the National Center for DWI Courts; and |
|
WHEREAS, Overseen by Judge Robert S. Anchondo of El Paso |
|
County Criminal Court at Law No. 2, the DWI Drug Court Intervention |
|
and Treatment Program has benefited area residents for more than a |
|
decade; with the goal of helping to reduce recidivism among adult |
|
DWI and drug 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 four 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 drug 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 House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby commend the El Paso County DWI Drug 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 by the |
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
