	SECTION 17.  Sections 13(h), (j), (l), and (m), Article
	42.12, Code of Criminal Procedure, are amended to read as follows:
	(h)  If a person convicted of an offense under Sections
	49.04-49.08, Penal Code, is placed on community supervision, the
	judge shall require, as a condition of the community supervision,
	that the defendant attend and successfully complete before the
	181st day after the day community supervision is granted an
	educational program jointly approved by the Department of State
	Health Services [Texas Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse], the
	Texas Department of Motor Vehicles [Public Safety], the Traffic
	Safety Section of the Texas Department of Transportation, and the
	community justice assistance division of the Texas Department of
	Criminal Justice designed to rehabilitate persons who have driven
	while intoxicated.  The Department of State Health Services [Texas
	Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse] shall publish the jointly
	approved rules and shall monitor, coordinate, and provide training
	to persons providing the educational programs.  The Department of
	State Health Services [Texas Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse]
	is responsible for the administration of the certification of
	approved educational programs and may charge a nonrefundable
	application fee for the initial certification of approval and for
	renewal of a certificate.  The judge may waive the educational
	program requirement or may grant an extension of time to
	successfully complete the program that expires not later than one
	year after the beginning date of the person's community
	supervision, however, if the defendant by a motion in writing shows
	good cause.  In determining good cause, the judge may consider but
	is not limited to:  the defendant's school and work schedule, the
	defendant's health, the distance that the defendant must travel to
	attend an educational program, and the fact that the defendant
	resides out of state, has no valid driver's license, or does not
	have access to transportation.  The judge shall set out the finding
	of good cause for waiver in the judgment.  If a defendant is
	required, as a condition of community supervision, to attend an
	educational program or if the court waives the educational program
	requirement, the court clerk shall immediately report that fact to
	the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles [Public Safety], on a form
	prescribed by the department, for inclusion in the person's driving
	record.  If the court grants an extension of time in which the
	person may complete the program, the court clerk shall immediately
	report that fact to the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles [Public
	Safety] on a form prescribed by the department.  The report must
	include the beginning date of the person's community
	supervision.  Upon the person's successful completion of the
	educational program, the person's instructor shall give notice to
	the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles [Public Safety] for
	inclusion in the person's driving record and to the community
	supervision and corrections department.  The community supervision
	and corrections department shall then forward the notice to the
	court clerk for filing.  If the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles
	[Public Safety] does not receive notice that a defendant required
	to complete an educational program has successfully completed the
	program within the period required by this section, as shown on
	department records, the department shall revoke the defendant's
	driver's license, permit, or privilege or prohibit the person from
	obtaining a license or permit, as provided by Sections 521.344(e)
	and (f), Transportation Code.  The Texas Department of Motor
	Vehicles [Public Safety] may not reinstate a license suspended
	under this subsection unless the person whose license was suspended
	makes application to the department for reinstatement of the
	person's license and pays to the department a reinstatement fee of
	$100.  The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles [Public Safety] shall
	remit all fees collected under this subsection to the comptroller
	for deposit in the general revenue fund.  This subsection does not
	apply to a defendant if a jury recommends community supervision for
	the defendant and also recommends that the defendant's driver's
	license not be suspended.
	(j)  The judge shall require a defendant who is punished
	under Section 49.09, Penal Code, as a condition of community
	supervision, to attend and successfully complete an educational
	program for repeat offenders approved by the Department of State
	Health Services [Texas Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse]. The
	Department of State Health Services [Texas Commission on Alcohol
	and Drug Abuse] shall adopt rules and shall monitor, coordinate,
	and provide training to persons providing the educational programs.
	The Department of State Health Services [Texas Commission on
	Alcohol and Drug Abuse] is responsible for the administration of
	the certification of approved educational programs and may charge a
	nonrefundable application fee for initial certification of
	approval or for renewal of the certification. The judge may waive
	the educational program requirement only if the defendant by a
	motion in writing shows good cause. In determining good cause, the
	judge may consider the defendant's school and work schedule, the
	defendant's health, the distance that the defendant must travel to
	attend an educational program, and whether the defendant resides
	out of state or does not have access to transportation. The judge
	shall set out the finding of good cause in the judgment. If a
	defendant is required, as a condition of community supervision, to
	attend an educational program, the court clerk shall immediately
	report that fact to the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles [Public
	Safety], on a form prescribed by the department, for inclusion in
	the defendant's driving record. The report must include the
	beginning date of the defendant's community supervision. On the
	defendant's successful completion of the educational program for
	repeat offenders, the defendant's instructor shall give notice to
	the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles [Public Safety] for
	inclusion in the defendant's driving record and to the community
	supervision and corrections department. The community supervision
	and corrections department shall then forward the notice to the
	court clerk for filing. If the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles
	[Public Safety] does not receive notice that a defendant required
	to complete an educational program has successfully completed the
	program for repeat offenders within the period required by the
	judge, as shown on department records, the department shall revoke
	the defendant's driver's license, permit, or privilege or prohibit
	the defendant from obtaining a license or permit, as provided by
	Sections 521.344(e) and (f), Transportation Code.
	(l)  If the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles [Public
	Safety] receives notice that a defendant has been required or
	permitted to attend a subsequent educational program under
	Subsection (h), (j), or (k) of this section, although the
	previously required attendance had been waived, but the judge has
	not ordered a period of suspension, the department shall suspend
	the defendant's driver's license, permit, or operating privilege,
	or shall issue an order prohibiting the defendant from obtaining a
	license or permit for a period of 365 days.
	(m)  If a judge revokes the community supervision of a
	defendant for an offense under Section 49.04, Penal Code, or an
	offense involving the operation of a motor vehicle under Section
	49.07, Penal Code, and the driver's license or privilege to operate
	a motor vehicle has not previously been ordered by the judge to be
	suspended, or if the suspension was previously probated, the judge
	shall suspend the license or privilege for a period provided under
	Subchapter O, Chapter 521, Transportation Code. The suspension
	shall be reported to the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles [Public
	Safety] as provided under Section 521.347, Transportation Code.
	SECTION 18.  Articles 45.050(c) and (f), Code of Criminal
	Procedure, are amended to read as follows:
	(c)  If a child fails to obey an order of a justice or
	municipal court under circumstances that would constitute contempt
	of court, the justice or municipal court, after providing notice
	and an opportunity to be heard, may:
	(1)  refer the child to the appropriate juvenile court
	for delinquent conduct for contempt of the justice or municipal
	court order; or
	(2)  retain jurisdiction of the case, hold the child in
	contempt of the justice or municipal court, and order either or both
	of the following:
	(A)  that the contemnor pay a fine not to exceed
	$500; or
	(B)  that the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles
	[Public Safety] suspend the contemnor's driver's license or permit
	or, if the contemnor does not have a license or permit, to deny the
	issuance of a license or permit to the contemnor until the contemnor
	fully complies with the orders of the court.
	(f)  A court that orders suspension or denial of a driver's
	license or permit under Subsection (c)(2)(B) shall notify the Texas
	Department of Motor Vehicles [Public Safety] on receiving proof of
	compliance with the orders of the court.
	SECTION 19.  Articles 45.0511(c), (c-1), and (l), Code of
	Criminal Procedure, are amended to read as follows:
	(c)  The court shall enter judgment on the defendant's plea
	of no contest or guilty at the time the plea is made, defer
	imposition of the judgment, and allow the defendant 90 days to
	successfully complete the approved driving safety course or
	motorcycle operator training course and present to the court:
	(1)  a uniform certificate of completion of the driving
	safety course or a verification of completion of the motorcycle
	operator training course;
	(2)  unless the judge proceeds under Subsection (c-1),
	the defendant's driving record as maintained by the Texas
	Department of Motor Vehicles [Public Safety], if any, showing that
	the defendant had not completed an approved driving safety course
	or motorcycle operator training course, as applicable, within the
	12 months preceding the date of the offense;
	(3)  an affidavit stating that the defendant was not
	taking a driving safety course or motorcycle operator training
	course, as applicable, under this article on the date the request to
	take the course was made and had not completed such a course that is
	not shown on the defendant's driving record within the 12 months
	preceding the date of the offense; and
	(4)  if the defendant does not have a valid Texas
	driver's license or permit and is a member, or the spouse or
	dependent child of a member, of the United States military forces
	serving on active duty, an affidavit stating that the defendant was
	not taking a driving safety course or motorcycle operator training
	course, as appropriate, in another state on the date the request to
	take the course was made and had not completed such a course within
	the 12 months preceding the date of the offense.
	(c-1)  In this subsection, "state electronic Internet
	portal" has the meaning assigned by Section 2054.003, Government
	Code.  As an alternative to receiving the defendant's driving
	record under Subsection (c)(2), the judge, at the time the
	defendant requests a driving safety course or motorcycle operator
	training course dismissal under this article, may require the
	defendant to pay a fee in an amount equal to the sum of the amount of
	the fee established by Section 521.048, Transportation Code, and
	the state electronic Internet portal fee and, using the state
	electronic Internet portal, may request the Texas Department of
	Motor Vehicles [Public Safety] to provide the judge with a copy of
	the defendant's driving record that shows the information described
	by Section 521.047(b), Transportation Code.  As soon as
	practicable and using the state electronic Internet portal, the
	Texas Department of Motor Vehicles [Public Safety] shall provide
	the judge with the requested copy of the defendant's driving
	record.  The fee authorized by this subsection is in addition to
	any other fee required under this article.  If the copy of the
	defendant's driving record provided to the judge under this
	subsection shows that the defendant has not completed an approved
	driving safety course or motorcycle operator training course, as
	appropriate, within the 12 months preceding the date of the
	offense, the judge shall allow the defendant to complete the
	appropriate course as provided by this article.  The custodian of a
	municipal or county treasury who receives fees collected under this
	subsection shall keep a record of the fees and, without deduction or
	proration, forward the fees to the comptroller, with and in the
	manner required for other fees and costs received in connection
	with criminal cases.  The comptroller shall credit fees received
	under this subsection to the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles
	[Public Safety].

	(1)  remove the judgment and dismiss the charge;
	(2)  report the fact that the defendant successfully
	completed a driving safety course or a motorcycle operator training
	course and the date of completion to the Texas Department of Motor
	Vehicles [Public Safety] for inclusion in the person's driving

	(3)  state in that report whether the course was taken
	under this article to provide information necessary to determine
	eligibility to take a subsequent course under Subsection (b).

	is amended to read as follows:

	does not have a license or permit, to deny the issuance of a license
	or permit to the individual for a period specified by the court not
