hey there.

this is my first post and my first time to this site. i have a friend locked up in a texas state jail. i was told by a buddy of mine that somewhere online i can access information concerning his projected release date.

i was also told that there is legislation in the works to lighten restrictions on early release within the state jail system.

anybody know anything? i sure appreciate your time. this is all very new to me.

Welcome to PTO!

There is a phone no. you can call that is pretty much automated. You'll need to know your friend's ID no.

512-406-5200

or, I think this 800 no. may help you.

1-800-535-0283

I don't know of anywhere online that you can get this information. I hope this helps. God Bless,

Welcome to PTO! :) Glad you found us, hope this info. below helps you some. ( I stole it from another post :D ) shhhhhh..


The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) can run a status search on an offender currently incarcerated or on parole within the TDCJ system.

To find out an offender's status you may call the following numbers.

Offender Status Line 800-535-0283 (toll free only for calls made from within Texas)
Offender Status Line-Austin 512-406-5202
Offender Status Line-Huntsville 936-295-6371

You will need to know the offender's name and 7-digit TDCJ number or their full name, date of birth (or approximate age), and county of conviction.

wow, that didn't take long. thanks for the quick replies, friends. i'll be jotting those numbers down to take to work with me in the morning. for now, i'm overdue w/ the sandman. think i'll sleep a little easier, so thanks again! zzzzzzzzz........
