Tex. Gov't Code § 499.0021 · Subchapter A. PRE-PAROLE TRANSFER
TRANSFER OF REVOKED DEFENDANTS.
Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025
(a) An inmate is eligible for transfer under this section if the inmate is confined in the institutional division or a county jail following revocation of community supervision on grounds other than the commission of a subsequent felony offense.
(b) The parole division may assume custody of an inmate who is eligible for transfer under this section not earlier than one year before the inmate's presumptive parole date. The inmate becomes a pre-parolee on the date the parole division assumes custody, and the parole division immediately shall transfer the pre-parolee to a facility under contract with the department, which may be a community residential facility, a community corrections facility listed in Section 509.001, or a county correctional facility. A pre-parolee transferred under this section is considered to be in the actual physical custody of the parole division.
(c) A pre-parolee transferred by the parole division to a facility under this section is subject to the provisions of Sections 499.002(c), 499.004, and 499.005 in the same manner as if the person were a pre-parolee who had been transferred to a community residential facility under Section 499.002.
