Parole Lawyer in Waco
When are you Eligible for Parole in Texas?
For non-3g offenses, Texas inmates may be eligible for parole if their good conduct time plus their actual time served equals one-fourth of the original sentence. Thus, if a person is awarded "good conduct" time every single day that they are in prison, he or she should become eligible for parole after approximately one-eighth of their sentence.
When is a 3G Offense Eligible for Parole in Texas?
If an inmate is serving a prison sentence for an offense listed under Section 3(g) of Chapter 42.12 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, then he or she must serve at least half of that sentence before becoming eligible for parole.
Being eligible for parole is no guarantee that an inmate will actually receive parole. There are numerous factors that will be considered by the Board of Pardons and Parole. Having a skilled Waco parole attorney on your side can make a considerable difference in many cases.
