If you or a loved one has been sentenced to TDCJ for three years chances are they will have a chance to come home before completing the sentence. The Texas Parole Board will decide if an offender should be released on parole. For the majority of Texas offenders serving three years they will be eligible for parole after receiving credit for nine months. If the offender diligently participates in programs and avoids getting in trouble they could receive nine months credit in less than four and a half months.
However, if you or a loved one is serving time on a 3(g) offense you will have to serve two years before becoming eligible for parole. Additionally, if an offender an offender is serving a drug related offense and there was an affirmative school zone finding they will not become eligible for parole.
