Pardons & Paroles Board

The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles in Houston is a crucial decision-making body responsible for determining which eligible offenders should be released on parole or discretionary mandatory supervision, based on research-based Parole Guidelines. They assess each offender's potential for successful reintegration into society while considering the risk to public safety, and also handle parole revocations with a graduated sanctions approach.

In addition to parole decisions, the Board recommends clemency matters to the Governor and plays a role in addressing human trafficking and domestic violence issues. They prioritize public safety and offender rehabilitation through a variety of interventions, including additional conditions, Intermediate Sanction Facilities, and alternative measures to incarceration.
