TEXAS BOARD OF PARDONS AND PAROLES
A commutation of sentence reduces a sentence to a lesser time period. A commutation may be granted for time served. Commutations of sentence will be granted only upon written recommendation of a majority of the applicant’s trial officials in the county of conviction, stating that the penalty now appears to be excessive and recommending a definite term, based on new information not before the judge or jury at trial or a statutory change in the penalty.
