Court-ordered anger management in Texas
Program: Court-ordered anger management (Texas courts use no single standardized name — it is generally just called "court-ordered" or "court-approved anger management"). In domestic/family-violence cases, courts instead order the state-accredited Battering Intervention and Prevention Program (BIPP), which is a separate, longer, regulated program — not a generic anger-management class.

Ordered to something that isn't listed here? This page lists only the Texas requirements we have verified against official state, court or agency sources — it is not a complete list of everything a Texas judge can order. If your order names a class we haven't covered, the court or agency named on your paperwork is the authority on it.
Independent directory: NextStep Counseling is an independent information site. We are not a court, a government agency, or a class provider, and no court endorses this site or any provider listed on it. Requirements change and vary by case, county and judge — always confirm the exact class, format, hours and an accepted provider with the court that ordered you before you enroll or pay.
