Ignition Interlock Order

An Ignition Interlock device is a breath alcohol analyzer that is installed to a motor vehicle ignition. In order to start the motor vehicle engine, a driver must blow a breath sample into the analyzer which measures alcohol concentration. If the alcohol concentration exceeds the startup set point on the interlock device, the motor vehicle engine will not start (Title 37 Texas Administrative Code Rule 19.21).

If you have been released from jail with orders for Ignition Interlock device installation, please report to our office on the assigned date with proof of installation and the $10.00 monthly supervision fee. The device must be installed by the given deadline date.

If you do not own a vehicle, you must submit an affidavit of non-ownership. You will be required to pay a $10.00 affidavit fee. Our office will submit an affidavit of non-ownership with a recommendation to the court for an alternate level of supervision.
