The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles, located in Arlington, TX, is a decision-making body responsible for determining which eligible offenders should be released on parole or discretionary mandatory supervision, and under what conditions. Utilizing research-based Parole Guidelines, the Board assesses each offender's potential for successful reintegration into society while considering the risk to public safety.
In addition to parole decisions, the Board also handles parole revocations, recommending clemency matters such as pardons to the Governor. With a focus on public safety and offender rehabilitation, the Board employs a graduated sanctions approach to address violations and offers alternatives to incarceration for parolees who do not meet the conditions of their release.
