Offenders serving state prison sentences for Texas crimes and
offenders whose parole or mandatory supervision has been revoked who
are not in the actual physical custody of the TDCJ-CID are subject
to the parole review process as set out in this chapter and title
in accord with the following.
(1) Parole in absentia processing is initiated upon
referral from the county of conviction when all necessary pen packet
documents have been compiled and presented to the TDCJ-CID.
(2) Prior to consideration for parole by the parole
panel, the offender may be interviewed for the purpose of obtaining
a parole release plan and completion of a parole in absentia summary
in order that the parole panel may make an informed decision concerning
parole release suitability (§145.12 of this title, relating to
Action upon Review; §145.16 of this title, relating to Action
upon Special Review--Release Approved; and §145.17 of this title,
relating to Action upon Special Review--Release Denied).
(3) An offender released to parole in absentia or mandatory
supervision on a Texas felony sentence shall, after release, be treated
the same as an offender released on parole or mandatory supervision
directly from the TDCJ-CID. Such offenders are subject to revocation
for violation of the terms and conditions of their release pursuant
to the provisions and procedures of Chapter 146 of this title (relating
to Revocation of Parole or Mandatory Supervision).
