37 TAC §145.22
The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles adopts an amendment
to 37 TAC §145.22, concerning the rules and conditions of parole and
the supervision of Texas offenders in other states. The amendment is adopted
without change to the proposed text as published in the September 20, 2002
issue of the
Texas Register
(27 TexReg 8910).
The text of the rule will not be republished.
The amendment is adopted as an addition to Chapter 145, Parole. The purpose
of the amendment is to update the language and bring the section into compliance
with current board practice.
No comments were received regarding adoption of the amendment.
The amendment is proposed under §508.036, §508.044
and §508.154, Government Code. The board interprets §508.036 and §508.044
as authorizing the Policy Board to adopt reasonable rules relating to the
decision-making processes used by parole panels. The board interprets §508.154
as relating to an offender's requirement to be amenable to the conditions
of supervision ordered by a parole panel.
This agency hereby certifies that the adoption has been reviewed
by legal counsel and found to be a valid exercise of the agency's legal authority.
Filed with the Office of
the Secretary of State on February 28, 2003.
