419	419	or permit to the defendant for that period; or
420	420	(B) if the defendant has been previously
421	421	convicted of an offense under one or more of the sections listed in
422	422	Subsection (a), suspend the defendant's driver's license or permit
423	423	for a period not to exceed one year or, if the defendant does not

426	426	(2) may order the defendant or the parent, managing
427	427	conservator, or guardian of the defendant to do any act or refrain
428	428	from doing any act if the court determines that doing the act or

430	430	defendant will present evidence to the court that the defendant has
431	431	satisfactorily completed an alcohol awareness program or performed
432	432	the required hours of community service.

665	665	Texas Department of Motor Vehicles [Public Safety] shall provide
666	666	the judge with the requested copy of the defendant's driving
667	667	record. The fee authorized by this subsection is in addition to
668	668	any other fee required under this article. If the copy of the
669	669	defendant's driving record provided to the judge under this
670	670	subsection shows that the defendant has not completed an approved
671	671	driving safety course or motorcycle operator training course, as
672	672	appropriate, within the 12 months preceding the date of the
673	673	offense, the judge shall allow the defendant to complete the
674	674	appropriate course as provided by this article. The custodian of a
675	675	municipal or county treasury who receives fees collected under this
676	676	subsection shall keep a record of the fees and, without deduction or
677	677	proration, forward the fees to the comptroller, with and in the

685	685	(2) report the fact that the defendant successfully
686	686	completed a driving safety course or a motorcycle operator training
687	687	course and the date of completion to the Texas Department of Motor
688	688	Vehicles [Public Safety] for inclusion in the person's driving
689	689	record; and
690	690	(3) state in that report whether the course was taken
691	691	under this article to provide information necessary to determine
692	692	eligibility to take a subsequent course under Subsection (b).
693	693	SECTION 42. Article 45.052(d), Code of Criminal Procedure,
694	694	is amended to read as follows:
695	695	(d) A charge dismissed under this article may not be part of
696	696	the defendant's criminal record or driving record or used for any
697	697	purpose. However, if the charge was for a traffic offense, the
698	698	court shall report to the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles
699	699	[Public Safety] that the defendant successfully completed the teen
700	700	court program and the date of completion for inclusion in the
701	701	defendant's driving record.
