Ok guys..here's one for ya....Skip did get that job at the county, and he's signed on for TDCJ time, so what he's serving now counts toward his time.

Here's the news....they have put him on administrative hold in the county for 6 months. He is a full blown trustee now, and he will definitely be in county for 6 months. He asked if this would affect his parole, the deputy said no. MY QUESTION IS: will they still move him to a TDCJ unit for a basic turn around once he's done with county? Can he actually parole out of county without ever actually entering the TDCJ system?

This is really good news, as he is in a nice facility with private bathrooms/showers. He's not in a cell, he's in a dorm-like setting with 46 other men. He leaves the jail every day for work, and they state they are keeping him FOR THE WORK he's doing.

Any input here would be great....i'm looking for anyone else who might have encountered this. I don't want to get my hopes up, but we're thinking this is a good sign!

KATH- HOPE IT IS GOOD NEWS FOR YOU! I DON'T HAVE ANY ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS. HAVE YOU TRIED POSTING IN THE LEGAL HELP FORUM? SHERRON

HEY KATHY.SOUNDS LIKE GOOD NEWS TO ME ALSO.HOPE IT IS!

HE MUST GO TO TDC TO DO A TURN AROUND HE HAS TO GET A TDC # THEN WELL BE RELEASED. CALL HUNSTVILLE AND MAKE SURE THEY WELL TELL YOU.

I talked to the Texas Parole Ombudsman yesterday. She said he CAN parole out of county and never hit TDC. She e-mailed info on him to the parole board for me yesterday, and said we can anticipate a defininte answer in 3-5 months. He will only get a TDC # thru intake/receiving, and she told me there's a chance that won't happen if his PIA status is granted!!!!

call hunstville!! when i said he had to go and get a # that is what i meant they go thru intake and hold over. my husbands attorney told me they have to get a # because they are senteced thru tdcj. but call for your self because one day they tell you one thing and the next they tell you something different. i have learned the hard way. even if the parole board is telling you this .
