Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles

Title 37, Part 5

The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles files this notice of readoption of 37 TAC Chapter 141 (General Provisions), Chapter 143 (Executive Clemency), Chapter 145 (Parole), Chapter 146 (Revocation of Parole or Mandatory Supervision), Chapter 147 (Hearings), Chapter 149 (Mandatory Supervision), Chapter 150 (Memorandum of Understanding and Board Policy Statements) and all the sections contained within them. The Board amended §141.60 to clarify the review period for offenders who are eligible for parole review; §143.12 to revise the contact for proof of application; §143.21 to revise the board rule reference contained within the rule; §143.23 to remove the board rule reference contained within the rule; and §145.17 to clarify the procedures regarding subsequent reviews of parole panel votes to deny release to parole or mandatory supervision. The Board amended §§143.4, 143.11, 143.52, 143.58, 143.74, 145.12, 145.23, 145.24, 146.6, 146.8, and 149.3 to update the statutory references contained within these rules. The readoption of Chapters 141, 143, 145, 146, 147, 149 and 150 is filed in accordance with the Board of Pardons and Paroles' Notice of Intent to Review published in the August 15, 2008, issue of the Texas Register (33 TexReg 6611) and the August 29, 2008, issue of the Texas Register (33 TexReg 7312). No public comments were received.

The assessment of Chapters 141, 143, 145, 146, 147, 149, and 150 indicates that the original justifications for these rules continues to exist, and the Board is readopting the rules in accordance with Texas Government Code, §2001.039. This concludes the review of 37 TAC Chapters 141, 143, 145, 146, 147, 149, and 150.
