PAROLE / MANDATORY SUPERVISION INFORMATION

Factors Considered in the Voting of a Case

The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles seeks to make just decisions in parole cases to restore human potential and to provide prudent conditions of release for a structured reintegration of an offender into the community, always conscious of public safety.

When voting individual parole cases, the Parole Panel considers many factors:

 

• Seriousness of the offense(s).
• Letters of support and/or protest.
• Sentence length/amount of time served.
• Criminal history / other arrest, probation, parole
• Number of prison incarcerations.
• Juvenile history
• Institutional adjustment (participation in specialized programs).
• Offender age
