Houston DWI DIVERT Program reaches double digits

The Harris County District Attorney's Office has reached their first milestone with the DIVERT program.  Today, Texans', wide receiver, Jacoby Jones, became the tenth person to start the program since it started in August of this year.  It is not expected that Mr. Jones will get disciplined by the National Football League or the Texans since by entering the Houston Divert program  a conviction is averted.

Currently, I have three clients waiting for their DIVERT interviews.  It seems like the District Attorney's Office did not properly staff the program because the wait to get an interview is over a month long.  I anticipate that the wait will decrease once the program is properly managed.
