⚖️ Texas Law — Charge Details
Return to TDCJ for remainder of original sentence
A parole violation occurs when a person released on parole from a Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) facility fails to comply with the conditions of their supervision. Common violations include failing a drug test, absconding (failing to report), traveling outside the approved area, contacting prohibited persons, or being arrested for a new offense. Parole violations are handled administratively by the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles — there is no jury trial. If the board finds a violation, the parolee can be returned to TDCJ to serve the remainder of their original sentence. If a new felony is committed, the parolee faces both revocation and prosecution on the new charge.
⚡ Potential Penalty Enhancements
| If this condition applies… | Charge escalates to | Statute |
|---|---|---|
| New felony offense committed while on parole | Separate prosecution + parole revocation — stacked sentences possible | § 508.283 |
| Parole board finds violation by preponderance of evidence | Revocation to TDCJ without new trial — full back-time may not be credited | § 508.281(b) |
