I am trying to get my husband paroled and no one wants to help please if any one has info on how to get parole in texas please let me know. I am frustrated and we have already been set off in 2000 for 2 years. He comes up again later this year and I would like to get a better case for him. Parole in texas is hard but I know that i happens so please help if you can. Thank you.:fb:

Hello Shortie
http://www.tifa.org/screen_bulletin.asp
I think this is from a web site you passed along. Have you already checked into this parole packet or maybe you just missed this?
If you would like a parole manual mailed to you, the cost for members is $25.00 plus $1.45 postage, non-members is $35.00 plus $1.45 postage. You may purchase your copy by writing to TIFA, 8407 Bandera Rd #133-117, San Antonio, TX 78250. A parole packet does not guarantee parole. However, it will help you highlight your loved one's accomplishments in prison and detail the support waiting for him/her should parole be granted.

thanks torrie
I did send off for the packet but we are still worried about some of the other issues. He was passed up for parole in 2000 because he got into a fight. So I wonder if that is still going to have baring on the parole board. Can I talk to the parole board or what right do I have to inquire about his parole. No one seems to know and I am getting frustrated.

I don't know about Texas but the friend I have in Oklahoma did not tell his family that he was ready to be paroled. He spoke for himself without anyone there. This meaning to me they could have or should have been there. His mother called the governor of Oklahoma and greived the parole decison because she was NOT notified. The governor reversed the parole. That was in 1994.

Hay anyone have any sample letters of support for parole. I just want to make sure that i am on the right track. Please let me know.

Here's link to a page that has two examples of letters to support parole....

I just found out that the parole board will not even talk to me so I need some help. What do you guys think WE can do to help get him home. I am trippin and I need some help.

I just got some really good info on a parole packet for parole in texas. I jsut sent support letters out to some of the important people in the process. I am going to send some more when they get ready to pull his file.

Shortie...
Sounds like you are making good progress... Keep us posted!! :)

You know that I will. I really would like to have my husband home for christmas which is also his birthday the big 35. So I just want to make sure that we try everything to get him home.

LET US KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO HELP! WE'RE BEHIND YOU..

SHERRI

Well I think the only thing we can do to help now is to write support letters. That is pretty much it.

Shortie
I am new to this forum but I wanted to help if possible. It's a long story but my husband made parole twice and each time I got to meet with the lead voter on the case and I made a parole presentation. I also sent support letters every 30 days.Let me know if I can help with anything

Shortie, why won't the parole board let you talk to them? I was under the impression anyone could be there to speak, even those who don't want the person paroled. I think a wife would have more rights to be there. (I guess I'm being naive again, huh?)

I was under the same impression and I have learned it texas they do not do it that way.. But for those of you who know my style I will not stop there.. They are going to listen to me and I am going to make sure it happens in a very digified way.. I know his rights and I also know mine.. I just don't want to play this game with them. Hey any support or ideas I can get on him making parole I am open too..
