Classes

Sometimes it may benefit you, or your case, to take a class. In these instances, you will take the class while your case is still pending and you are on bond. Unless ordered by the judge, taking a class while on bond is not mandatory. If you are on probation, the Tarrant County Community Supervision and Corrections Department (CSCD) will require you to take the applicable course.

​

Below are links to agencies that offer approved courses. Each course is offered by several providers. Many providers have multiple locations. Should you choose to take a course, or should you be required to do so, it is recommended you take the course offered by the provider closest to your residence.

​

If you are on bond, bring your certificate of completion to the office when you have completed the course.

Anger Management Program

If you are charged with assault, you may be asked to complete an anger management program. If you are on probation for an assault case, AMP will be a condition of your probation. If you are on bond, it may be beneficial for you to take an anger control class as part of the plea negotiations. Tarrant County CSCD requires all Anger Management Program (AMP) courses meet the following requirements:

  • The course must be 18 hours of total counseling, comprising of 16 hours in a group session, 1-hour intake, and 1-hour exit sessions

  • Group sessions must be 2 hours each

  • Group sessions may meet once or twice weekly, for a total of four weeks or eight weeks

  • Male and female participants must be in separate classes

​

Below is a list of agencies that offer the Anger Management Program.

If you are on probation, you will be required to complete the “long” BIPP course. In some instances, while you are on bond, you may be able to take the “short” BIPP course as part of the plea negotiations. The “short” course is 8 weeks, plus intake. If you are on bond, bring your certificate of completion to the office when you have completed the course.

Texas Drug Offender Education Program (TXDOEP)

If you are charged with possession of marijuana, a controlled substance or a dangerous drug, you may be asked to take the TXDOEP course. This is a 15-hour course that is taught in a five-part program. If your case is pending, and you are on bond, you may be asked to complete the TXDOEP class as part of the plea negotiations. If you are on probation, completing this course will be required as a condition of probation. If you were convicted of a drug-related offense, your Texas driver’s license will be suspended for a minimum of 6 months. This suspension will become an indefinite suspension unless and until you complete the TXDOEP course. If you are on bond, bring your certificate of completion to the office when you have completed the course.
