Parole Process In Texas

Summary

The parole process in Texas can be complex, especially for non-violent probation violations. Typically, a parole officer should contact the inmate within 60 days. If there has been no contact, consider reaching out to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) for information about the transfer and parole process. Keeping a record of all communications with TDCJ is advisable. Seeking assistance from a local legal aid organization can provide guidance and representation. Legal Aid offices, such as Lone Star Legal Aid in Waco, TX, can help navigate the parole process and offer support.

My fiance was sentenced to 4 years for non violent probation violation, minor offense. He is in Grosebeck Tx county jail. He is only required to 5 months and 21 days. He is on day * since he was sentenced. He has a total of 94 days all together with his good time credit he has a total of 154 days completed of a *.1 day sentence. Shouldn't a parole officer been by to see him by now or have heard something by now? How do we know when to do parole packet and he is still in county he hasnt been picked up by tdc yet. We have heard absolutely nothing since his sentencing on May 23rd and don't have a clue what to do
