Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles

The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles is a state agency responsible for reviewing upcoming parole hearings, recommending paroles, and advising on clemency requests for inmates in Texas prisons. They evaluate inmates' behavior, rehabilitation, and risk to public safety before making decisions about granting early release or clemency. Their goal is to ensure decisions balance individual rehabilitation with community safety, and they operate independently within the Texas Department of Criminal Justice system.
