Tex.
Gov't Code Section 499.0021
Transfer of Revoked Defendants
(a)
An inmate is eligible for transfer under this section if the inmate is confined in the institutional division or a county jail following revocation of community supervision on grounds other than the commission of a subsequent felony offense.(b)
The pardons and paroles division may assume custody of an inmate who is eligible for transfer under this section not earlier than one year before the inmate’s presumptive parole date. The inmate becomes a pre-parolee on the date the pardons and paroles division assumes custody, and the pardons and paroles division immediately shall transfer the pre-parolee to a facility under contract with the department, which may be a community residential facility, a community corrections facility listed in Section 509.001 (Definitions), or a county correctional facility. A pre-parolee transferred under this section is considered to be in the actual physical custody of the pardons and paroles division.(c)
A pre-parolee transferred by the pardons and paroles division to a facility under this section is subject to the provisions of Sections 499.002 (Transfer to Community Residential Facility)(c), 499.004 (Rules; Supervision of Pre-parolees), and 499.005 (Transfer to Parole Status) in the same manner as if the person were a pre-parolee who had been transferred to a community residential facility under Section 499.002 (Transfer to Community Residential Facility).
