Legal Question in DUI Law in Colorado

IHello my name is Mac and I got a DUI back in 2007 while on parole so I just pled guilty and did 1yr ran concurrent with my Doc violation cause I knew I wasnt going anywhere. Now I've been looking into getting reinstated and im eligible but they are saying th@ I have to do alcohol classes, and get and interlock and Sr22 and my status is HTO. When I pled guilty in 07 I was never told anything about classes or interlock. I yhought the time spent would satisfy the courts. I went to the court house yesterday and revied my file and there's nothing in there about alcohol classes and such so im saying this I literally never knew anything or was told anything about this and it's now 6yrs later and im dealing with somthing I did the time for. The original case#07-4357 and somehow it's now 07CR286...

Your problem is a common one: There are two different systems at work with alcohol-related driving offenses: The courts (which you have satisfied), and DMV. It is DMV's requirements, not the courts, that you must now satisfy to regain a driver's license.

The courts did not tell you because they consider it a collateral consequence.
