                   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 State of Texas, 88th 
         
            Legislature, hereby commend the El Paso County DWI Court

            Academy Court and extend to all those associated with the 
         
            initiative sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further

            prepared for the program as an expression of high regard from the 
         
            Texas Senate.
