Texas Parole Hearings
For those who have been imprisoned for some time, a parole hearing is an important event which can spell the difference between more prison time and a release. Because of this, the offender will want to do everything possible to achieve a favorable finding by the Parole Board. At a Parole Hearing, three main factors will be considered by the Parole Board in making its decision. These factors include 1) what you were convicted for and the time you have spent in prison 2) whether you have a work and living situation on the outside that you can return to and 3) whether you can demonstrate that you have been rehabilitated during your incarceration.
Getting help from a qualified criminal defense attorney can help in the preparation for a Parole Hearing. The Parole Board will generally make its decision about whether you should be released within 60 to 90 days before the parole eligibility date. During that time, you will want to submit all the important information and documentation needed to substantiate your application for parole. This can include letters of support from family, friends, experts, or community members, proof of where you will be residing, transcripts of any educational or other improvement courses you took during the time you were in prison and more. All of this documentation can be handled by your attorney who will work hard to help you present your case in the most positive light to the Parole Board.
