Report from the Judicial Resource Liaison

by Judge Mark Atkinson

The duties of the Judicial Resource Liaison are listed in the Texas Department of Transportation Traffic Safety Grant as follows:

“The Judicial Resource Liaison is to serve as a liaison between the judiciary, the Texas Department of Transportation, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and impaired driving program partners; share resources, provide improved training, technical assistance, support materials and collaboration on initiatives to reduce impaired driving; assist with project marketing, implementation and enrollment activities; monitor, assess and evaluate existing DWI Courts; sit by assignment as a visiting judge for up to 40 days per year, while providing technical assistance and developing performance evaluation and monitoring tools.”

It was mentioned in a previous Newsletter that Texas’ Judicial Resource Liaison position is the only such full-time, dedicated-to-one-state position in the nation. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) had previously established regional positions called Judicial Outreach Liaisons (JOLs) throughout the United States, with each JOL representing a region of the country which is comprised of a number of states. TxDOT took the initiative to further this concept by creating a Texas-only Judicial Resource Liaison.

Rebecca Pitts, former TxDOT Program Director, and I decided that it made sense that a fair share of our time should be devoted to visiting courts throughout Texas in an effort to see how they operate in different locales. That is essential to our being able to collect accurate and relevant information for use in developing curriculum, providing technical assistance, and informing policy-makers and judges. While we judges learn much about each other from formal sessions and casual conversations at educational conferences, even more is gained by seeing things firsthand.

Since beginning my Judicial Resource Liaison duties in October, 2010, I have visited or sat by assignment in the following courts: Denton County Court at Law, Tarrant County Court at Law, Austin County Court at Law, Bexar County Court at Law and two Harris County Criminal Courts at Law.

In addition, Rebecca Pitts and I have visited the following DWI Courts, Drug Courts and hybrid DWI/Drug Courts: Comal County Court at Law Accountability Court, El Paso County DWI/Drug Court, El Paso District Court Drug Courts, Williamson County DWI Court, Dallas County District Court DWI Court, Dallas County Court at Law DWI Court, Travis County DWI Court, Fort Bend County DWI Court, Harris County Courts at Law DWI Courts and Harris County District Court STAR Drug Court. Rebecca has visited the Lubbock County Court at Law DWI Court and the Collin County District Court DWI Court. In addition, Rebecca visits the Williamson County DWI Court twice a month.

For me, these visits involved a combination of sitting by assignment as a visiting judge, observing “staffing” sessions preceding DWI Court sessions, as well as observing the DWI Court session, themselves, and visiting other judges in their courtrooms and chambers. Judges have been kind enough to give me access to and tours of treatment facilities, sobriety monitoring technology installation and compliance facilities, as well as Community Supervision and Corrections Departments’ supervision facilities.

It has been fascinating to observe and discern the commonalities and differences in various courts across the state. When sitting as a visiting judge trying DWI cases, I have decided that DWI trials are pretty much the same wherever I have sat. Other commonalities of the judges and courts Rebecca and I have visited are professionalism and dedication to serving their communities and the judiciary, in general.

Observing these courts has broadened our knowledge and understanding of the needs, goals and accomplishments of courts across the state. We plan to visit more courts throughout the year. Our travels have taken us to courts in urban, suburban and rural areas of the state. In July 2011, we will conduct our first educational conference including constitutional County Judges, County Court at Law judges and District Court judges – all under one roof. The constitutional County Judges, constituents of the Texas Association of Counties educational programs, have expressed a desire to be involved in more DWI education programs. All of the attendees will benefit from hearing how others conduct their courts and deal with the issues all judges face when handling DWI cases.

Rebecca Pitts and I will continue to learn more about the state’s courts and judges in an effort to be good repositories of knowledge when needed for developing curriculum, providing technical assistance or relating to policy-makers the realities needs and practices of our judges in handling DWI cases.

Special thanks to Dr. Melissa Walden, Research Scientist, of the Texas Transportation Institute of the Texas A&M University System for providing a list and analysis of bills relating to traffic safety and impaired driving from the 82nd Regular Legislative Session.

Innovative DWI Model Court Report

by Rebecca Pitts

The Williamson County Court at Law #2 DWI/Drug Court was selected as the Innovative DWI Model Court in January 2010. As part of the Traffic Safety Grant program at the Texas Center, I visit the Court every other week to see what techniques Judge Wright and his DWI Court team members are using and how their participants are progressing in the Court program.

On Tuesday, April 12, I picked the right day to visit Judge Wright and his Court. Since all participants had been sanction-free for three weeks, the Court also hosted Celebration Tuesday and shared ice cream floats with all the participants of the Court program. It was interesting to see a courtroom full of team members and participants enjoying ice cream floats and being together. Not your usual courtroom atmosphere! The team also awarded a Shining Star to one participant for her willingness to share in group therapy. The Shining Star award is given to one participant each court session to recognize their achievements in the DWI/Drug Court program. Four participants advanced to Phase 3 and two participants to Phase 2.

On Tuesday, April 26, two participants shared their new sobriety chips with the Court; both marked 90 days of sobriety for each participant. All 26 participants who appeared before Judge Tim Wright were in compliance with the conditions of their probation.

On May 17, Ms. Patricia Hall, Accounting Assistant, and I attended the staffing and graduation ceremony of the DWI/Drug Court program. During the staffing, Judge Tim Wright and his team voted one new participant into the program and discussed the activities of the current participants. The graduation was held in one of the district courts’ courtroom; 20 graduates celebrated their completion of the program and their newfound sobriety, bringing the graduate count to over 150. The Honorable George Garver, Mayor of Georgetown, read a proclamation recognizing the contribution of the DWI/Drug Court program to the community. Judge David Hodges, Judicial Education Director of the Texas Association of Counties, spoke eloquently to the graduates about the new direction they had chosen for their lives. Each graduate was given the opportunity to speak about how the program had impacted their lives; their stories and gratitude to the DWI/Drug Court staff were sincere and moving.

On May 31, Judge Wright and his Court team reviewed the status of 24 participants, one of who did not report to Court. Nineteen of the participants were in compliance with their program; one participant was moved to Phase III and one was moved to Phase II. Four participants were ordered to perform community service as they had neglected to appear at scheduled probation meetings or call in to the random urinalysis phone line to see if they needed to come into probation for a drug test.

During the month of June, I was able to visit the court on June 28. Of the 21 participants who appeared in court, only one recipient received a sanction of 8 hours of road and bridge. One participant did not make it to court due to being stopped by police on the way for an expired state inspection sticker; since the participant did not have liability insurance and failed to keep the occupational driving log with the occupational driver’s license, the participant was arrested.
Additionally, Mr. Rick Bowles, a graduate of the Williamson County Court at Law # 2, had his recovery story featured as the Drug Court Story of the Month by the National Association of Drug Court Professionals.

Visiting the Williamson County DWI/Drug Court every other week gives me the opportunity to see the progress and occasional regress of the participants, the team dynamics of the Court and the impact of the Court on the citizens of Williamson County.

Out in the West Texas Town of El Paso…Judge Anchondo and the El Paso County DWI/Drug Court

by Rebecca Pitts

On June 16, Judge Mark Atkinson and I traveled to El Paso to visit the El Paso County Criminal Court at Law #2 DWI Drug Court. Judge Robert Anchondo was an excellent host, introducing us to other judges who preside over other specialty courts in El Paso. Judge Patrick Garcia, 384th Judicial District Court, runs an Adult Drug Court of over 70 participants. Judge Sam Medrano, 409th Judicial District Court, presides over a Juvenile Drug Court which incorporates intensive treatment. Judge Linda Chew, 327th Judicial District Court, and Associate Judge Oscar Gabaldon, Child Protection Court, both lead Family Courts, helping to keep El Paso County families intact and functioning. These judges took time out of their busy days to speak candidly with Judge Atkinson and me about their specialty programs. Their dedication to these programs was enlightening and inspiring.

Judge Anchondo’s DWI Drug Court team began staffing at 4:00 p.m. with an intensive review of each participant. The probation officers, Judith Nichols and Jesse Valdez, reviewed each participant’s activities, office visits, and drug or alcohol test results. Beatrice Marrufo, the team counselor, spoke of the participant’s interaction in group therapy and individual progress. Then Officer Juan Ferrell and Deputy Julio Gonzalez, two law enforcement officers who make field visits, reported on what they had seen when making their visits to participants’ homes. Attorneys Kate Sullivan, El Paso Public Defender’s Office, and Ivan Martinez, 34th Judicial District Prosecutor, also weighed in on the participants’ progress. Leticia Medina and David Trujillo ably oversee the administration of the DWI Drug Court program. Thirty-two of the program’s 68 participants were scheduled to appear that Thursday.

Judge Anchondo began the court session with an open question and answer session. Participants and their family members filled both the spectator and jury seating. One participant gave a short presentation on a book she was required to read, speaking eloquently about its impact on her recovery process and recommending it to other participants in the court. Pictures of the participants’ homes taken during home visits were also displayed in order to encourage a more orderly environment. The judge reminded the participants that any visit on court business requires adherence to the approved dress code in the DWI Drug Court program.

Judge Atkinson and I very much enjoyed our trip to El Paso and learned much from the judges of West Texas. Thank you for your hospitality and generosity!

It’s Graduation Season…for DWI Courts, Too!

by Rebecca Pitts

One of the highlights of working with the Texas Department of Transportation Traffic Safety Grant program at the Texas Center is attending DWI/Drug Court graduation ceremonies. These ceremonies highlight the achievements of the graduates and the impact of the court teams that host them.

On May 23, Judge Randy Gray and his Accountability Court team celebrated their first graduation with eight participants from their DWI Court. Judge Gray and his team trained with the Texas Center in July 2009. Mr. Rick Bowles, a graduate of the Williamson County Court at Law #2 DWI/Drug Court, acted as the keynote speaker, sharing the impact of sobriety in his life and spurring the graduates on to continue in their recovery. The eight graduates each had an opportunity to speak about their experience in the program. Judge Tim Wright drove down from Williamson County to support Judge Gray and his Court team in their first graduation ceremony. Judge Atkinson and I were pleased to be included in the celebration and look forward to many more.

On June 14, Judge Elisabeth Earle and her DWI Court team held their tenth graduation ceremony. This time the arresting officers were invited to see the end result of the DWI Court program. Father Bill Wigmore, Director of Chaplaincy Services at Austin Recovery, shared the story of his sobriety with the graduates and encouraged them to continue working on their recovery. Judge Earle presented each graduate with a diploma and gave them the chance to talk about how their lives had changed during the program. Several of the graduates thanked the Court team for their concern and support during the program. A few even thanked the officers who arrested them, saying that the arrest had been a blessing in disguise and the catalyst that enabled them to change the direction of their lives. The Travis County Court at Law #7 DWI Court has seen more than 80 people graduate from their DWI Court. It was a privilege to see the difference that Judge Earle and her team are making in their community.
The Traffic Safety Grant Program at the Texas Center is always eager to see DWI Courts hold their graduation ceremonies. If your court has a graduation coming up, please let us know!

DWI Curriculum Committee Meets Again!

by Rebecca Pitts

The DWI Curriculum Committee met again on Friday, June 10, to work on curriculum for the DWI College for Trial Judges, the DWI Court Judges Conference, and the DWI College for DWI Court Team Members and Student Conduct Officers, to review the evaluations of the 2011 DWI Court Team Training and the 2011 DWI Technology Conference, and to discuss the Fiscal Year 2012 Texas Department of Transportation Traffic Safety Grant proposal.

During the first week of May, Judge Mark Atkinson, Judicial Resource Liaison, Mr. Randy Sarosdy, Executive Director, and I hosted four judges and their court teams at the 2011 DWI Court Team Training at the Sheraton Gunter in San Antonio, Texas. For three and a half days (May 2-5), Judge Natalie Fleming, Harris County Criminal Court at Law #3, Judge Bobby Flores, 139th Judicial District Court in Hidalgo County, Judge Paula Goodhart, Harris County Criminal Court at Law # 1, and Judge Oscar Hale, 409th Judicial District Court in Webb County, led their teams in the Training. Faculty from the National Center for DWI Courts, a professional services division of the National Association of Drug Court Professionals, taught the course and acted as facilitators to each of the four teams.

Four Texas judges, Judge Robert Anchondo, El Paso County Criminal Court at Law #2, Judge Diane Bull, Harris County Criminal Court at Law # 11, Judge Dibrell Waldrip, 433rd Judicial District Court in Comal County, and Judge Sharen Wilson, Tarrant County Criminal District Court #1, provided knowledge on how to run DWI Courts while staying within the parameters of Texas law. Mr. Marshall Shelsy, Harris County Criminal Courts at Law Staff Attorney, attended the Training as a facilitator and in preparation for his presentation at the 2011 DWI Court Judges Conference, scheduled for August 29. The Training also included a visit to the Comal County Accountability Court, a DWI court program presided over by Judge Randy Gray and his court team. Ms. Gail Bell, Conference Coordinator, provided assistance at the DWI Court Team Training.

On May 16, Judge Atkinson, Judge Patrice McDonald, Montgomery County Court at Law #3 and chair of the DWI Curriculum Committee, and I hosted the DWI Technology Conference at the Omni Dallas Hotel at Park West. Over thirty Texas judges learned about the technologies involved in DWI cases from beginning to end including a review of the Intoxilyzer5000, blood testing results, ignition interlock and trans-dermal alcohol detection devices. Judge Atkinson, Judge Mc Donald and Judge Ray Wheless, 366th Judicial District Court and a member of the DWI Curriculum Committee, facilitated discussion at lunch on how these technologies are currently used in the courts represented by the judges. Mr. Marlon Drakes, Associate Director of the Texas Center for the Judiciary, and Ms. Gail Bell, Conference Coordinator, also provided support.

The DWI College for Trial Judges will provide judges who hear impaired driving cases an opportunity to get back to the basics of DWI law. Topics will include case law updates, occupational driver’s license issues, a comparison of DWI forms from counties across the state, introduction to the nature of addiction, voir dire, SFST/DRE/HGN, sentencing and supervising offenders, legislative updates, and Seventh Inning Stretch, a new take on Judicial Jeopardy. In partnership with the Texas Association of Counties, constitutional County Judges will also attend.

The DWI Court Judges Conference will focus on the role of judges in specialty DWI courts. This half day conference for DWI Court judges, only, will provide an open forum for the discussion of judicial immunity, how DWI Courts have evolved and how the role of the judge has evolved with it.

The DWI College for DWI Court Team Members and Student Conduct Officers provides an opportunity for judges and their teams, new team members, and student conduct officers to learn more about addiction, pharmacology, cognitive education, screening and assessment, motivational interviewing, sustainability, and what court teams wish their judges knew. Dr. Douglas Marlowe, Chief of Science and Policy at the National Association of Drug Court Professionals, will present a session called Incentives and Sanctions: Behavioral Modifications for Addicts. DWI Court Team Members will have their own You Asked For It, You Got It sessions and Student Conduct Officers will be able to meet their area judges and their court teams.

Special thanks to the members of the DWI Curriculum Committee: Judge Patrice McDonald, Montgomery County Court at Law #3, chair; Judge Robert Anchondo, Judge Donald Dowd, Judge Alex Hernandez, Judge Virgil Vahlenkamp, Jr., Judge Dibrell Waldrip, Judge Ray Wheless, Judge Tim Wright, Judge Mark Atkinson, Judge Diane Bull, Judge David Garcia, and Mr. Randall Sarosdy. Thank you for your service to the Texas Center for the Judiciary’s Traffic Safety Grant Program!
