Important Information about the Texas Parole Process

| November 29, 2011

  Did you know that only 20% of Texas inmates are granted parole on their first try?  Parole is not automatic.  It is granted at the discretion of the members of the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles. Under the Texas Parole laws, the Texas Parole Board is not obligated to interview parole eligible inmates.  The information the board uses to determine parole is only what is in their case file.  The case file contains diagnostic prison data, social background information, offense information, conversations with prosecutors and arresting officers,  criminalRead More

Putting Together a Parole Packet

| September 27, 2010

While our book, How to Prepare a Texas Parole Presentation Package, goes into the process and requirements in detail, several people have asked about other parole letters and packets on the internet and we thought we would take this chance to discuss them. The important thing to remember about a parole packet is that it may be the only chance the voting members have to see anything personal about the offender. We know their files contain letters from the DA, police reports, prison records, and sometimes letters from the "victims".Read More

The Importance of a Parole Packet to Texas Parole

| August 4, 2010

However, realistically, at least half or more of their time is spent on duties other than just a review of the files, thus reducing theRead More

Now is the Time for a Perfect Parole Package
