The Independent Office of Inmate Counsel (IOIC) reports directly to and only to the Texas Board of Criminal Justice (TBCJ) and is independent of and not a division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ).

Neither TBCJ nor TDCJ impedes, directs, or regulates a IOIC attorney’s independence of professional judgment in rendering services to clients, nor do they interfere with the attorney-client relationship.
