How often is an offender able to receive a parole review?
Offenders receive an annual review, except those convicted of an offense under Section 508.149(a), Government Code, or those convicted of 2nd or 3rd degree Injury to a Child, Elderly Individual, or Disabled Individual. Depending on the specific offense, those offenders may be eligible for up to a ten-year set-off.
If a parole panel votes a Serve All (SA), the offender will not be reviewed for parole again prior to discharging their sentence. However, if eligible, the offender may still be reviewed for discretionary mandatory supervision.
