Mandatory Supervision” is the release of an inmate when the inmate’s calendar time served plus earned good time credits equals the inmate’s total sentence. For example: if an inmate had a five year sentence, after accumulating 60 months worth of time credits, the decision to release the inmate to supervision would become mandatory by operation of law.

However, for those inmates whose offense conduct occurred on or after September 1, 1996, release to Mandatory Supervision is no longer mandatory! Due to legislative changes to the statute, the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles must now review all Mandatory Supervision release cases. If the Board determines that release to Mandatory Supervision is not in the best interests of the public, they may deny such release.

Only in Texas could a “mandatory release” become a “discretionary mandatory release”! An inmate released to Mandatory Supervision is subject to the same terms and conditions as an inmate released to Parole.
