|
||
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 88th Texas 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 by the | ||
Texas Senate. |
