Interstate Compact for Adult Offender Supervision
All 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands are members of the Interstate Commission for Adult Offender Supervision.
Mission Statement
The mission of the Texas Interstate Compact Office is to successfully facilitate the transfer of adult individuals placed on probation and parole whose supervision needs to be transferred to a state or territory other than the state or territory of conviction, based on public safety and interstate compact rules; it is also to assist criminal justice stakeholders, including the public, with understanding and complying with the interstate compact.
Program Overview
The Interstate Compact for Adult Offender Supervision is administered in Texas through the TDCJ Interstate Compact Office. The Texas Interstate Compact Office acts as a liaison between Texas parole and probation offices and other states to coordinate the transfer and supervision of supervised individuals to and from Texas until their case is closed or they return to the originating state.
A receiving state is required to supervise the individual for the length of time determined by the sending state in a manner consistent with the supervision of similar offenders sentenced in the receiving state. The individual must comply with special conditions imposed by both the sending and receiving states.
Tools that can be used to provide supervised individuals, their families and others with helpful information and resources to prepare for the interstate transfer process can be located at the following links:
