Batterer’s Intervention Classes

Batterers’ Intervention Program (BIP) is a program that we often ask our clients to attend, usually as part of our strategy in a domestic violence case. Voluntarily participating in BIP can play a vital role in negotiating a positive outcome in your assault family violence case. Involvement in the BIP program shows the prosecutor that the your are taking the charge and situation seriously. The content and activities in BIP provide at least some assurance to the prosecutor that the alleged violent behavior won’t happen again. BIP is usually an 18 week program.

Anger Control Classes

As part of our strategy for domestic violence or other assault cases we will often ask our clients to enroll in an Anger Control Class. Anger is a healthy emotion, but is not as easily controlled by all people resulting in relationship and health issues. Anger Control Classes are designed to give our client’s an understanding of the source of their anger and how to manage it. This shows the prosecutors or jurors that you are proactive and regardless of how you find yourself charged with a criminal case, you are willing to take action to get your life back on track.

DWI Education Classes

DWI Education Classes are used part of our strategy for Driving While Intoxicated cases. For first time offenders we ask that clients complete the basic 12 hour course. We ask that clients accused of DWI Misdemeanor Repetition (Second DWI) or DWI with BAC 0.15 or Higher take the DWI Repeat Offender Course. The goal of these classes help attendees understand the risk of DWI and provide alternative strategies to getting behind the wheel drunk. It is important to understand that by taking this course you are not admitting guilt, you are just being proactive in your case!

Texas Drug Offender Education Program

If you are facing a drug related charge, as part of our strategy we may ask you to take TXDOEP. This is a typical 10-12 hour course designed to help educate on drugs and their consequences. We will also ask any client who has been accused of a drug related crime to complete 3 CLEAN Urinalysis Tests. We ask this in order to give our clients a chance to show the courts that they are capable of removing drugs from their lives and that they are not dependent on drug use.

Substance Abuse Treatment

As our strategy for clients who are classified as repeat offenders or those who are charged with higher classified drug charges, we may ask that they undergo Substance Abuse Treatment. This shows the court that the client is aware that they may have a problem with substance abuse, but the client would like to get better.

Theft Intervention Program (TIPS)

For misdemeanor theft cases, such as shoplifting, we ask our clients to take the Theft Intervention Program. This is a relatively short class. Upon completion you get a certificate that you should provide to your attorney. Taking the Theft Intervention Class does not constitute an admission of guilt. Rather, it helps your attorney communicate to the prosecutor that you are taking your theft charge seriously, and taking TIPS shows you are proactive.

Community Service

In most criminal cases we will ask clients to take the proactive measure of doing community service. This does not mean that you are admitting guilt. Instead it shows the prosecutor that your are working to improve and be a more productive member of society. Some clients say that they do not have time for this part of the strategy. We cannot stress enough that your criminal case needs to be a top priority. Doing community service before your case is resolved likely saves you time and money in the long run. Listed below are some of the more common community service outlets.

Family and Parenting Programs

As part of our strategy for domestic violence and family cases we often ask clients to enroll in a Family & Parenting Program, such as the Family First Program. This is designed to help build family communication, encourage positive family interaction, and create positive parenting skills. These programs show the prosecutor, the judge, and your family that you take being a positive member of your household seriously.

Sexual Case Treatment Providers

In many cases involving sexual allegations we have clients undergo psychological testing specifically related to sexual behavior and deviancy. If you are facing criminal charges for a sexual accusation you should not make arrangements for an assessment without first speaking to your lawyer. Statements that you make during evaluation or treatment can be used against you unless the sexual treatment provider has entered into an “agency agreement” as a part of your criminal defense team.

Polygrapher Information

Lie detector tests or polygraphs are not generally admissible in Texas criminal courts. However, polygraphs can be useful tools for treatment or preparing your case for presentation to a prosecutor or grand jury. Like other service providers, you should not contact a polygraph provider until you have spoken with your criminal defense attorney. Statements made during the exam or in the pre-testing interview can be used against you unless the polygraph provider has entered into an “agency agreement” as a part of your criminal defense team.
