As of June 2019, the release of TDCJ inmates after parole has been granted has slowed significantly, based on interviews I’ve had with TDCJ clients and probation officers.
The slowdown appears to be mainly due to staff shortages at TDCJ. I hope the bottleneck isn’t permanent, but my sources seem skeptical that the issue will be fixed any time soon.

You are NOT required to take the Texas standardized sobriety tests
Although the officer may pretend that you should take the tests, do not. If he asks you to get out of the vehicle, then you should get out of the car. But once he tries to start the HGN (eye test) on you, you can (and should) politely decline the test. Notice what I said… Politely decline. Don’t be an idiot and rant about how you read this blog knowing these tests are useless and you refuse to take them.
Remember that all of this is captured on audio and video; Audio and video that will be exhibit #1 in a trial if it goes that far. Just let the officer know you don’t want to take standardized sobriety tests.
Yes, you can (and probably will) be arrested if you refuse to take the FST. If the officer already felt they had enough evidence to manage the evidence, they will likely arrest you for DWI if you refuse to take it. But hey, you’d probably get arrested anyway. But now there will be less evidence against him. You have the absolute right not to testify against yourself. This fundamental right also applies in the context of DWI.
What is required to charge someone with the crime of conspiracy to commit a crime?
In addition to the request to commit a crime (prompt) and the actual attempt to commit a crime, conspiracy is one of the so-called incipient or incomplete crimes. A person can be charged and convicted of an incipient crime even if a full crime is never committed.
In order to convict the defendant of conspiracy to commit a crime, the prosecutor must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that:
withdraw the award in a timely manner:
- if a person committed a disciplinary offence suffered before a good time has been awarded, the BOP may serve more jail time.
- When crediting the person’s good time from previous years, the BOP can still take the good time that administrators find when the person is involved in serious misconduct that disrupts the security of the institution, such as: . a riot or a food strike.
- The BOP may revoke a previously awarded good time if administrators later determine that the inmate has committed disciplinary infractions during a year in which the good time has already been awarded.
People who want to get the maximum amount of good time in federal prison don’t have to do anything particularly “good” or meritorious. They simply must avoid disciplinary violations and enter the GED program unless they can prove they have a high school diploma or equivalent.
