My bf just signed for 2 years for felony possession of a weapon (gun). Still in county waiting to get picked up by TDC. I don't know when he will be eligible for parole? He did some time back in 2005-2007 in the West Garza unit for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. I need help understanding the time calculation. He's talking about taking classes so he can be out quicker on good behavior.

2 years is a great deal considering he was a felon in poss of a firearm...I'd say he should see parole by the end of the summer

How long has he been in county?

Also, was he on parole? That could make a difference too.

Also I dont want to scare you but he may have to do a serve all if 1 he violated parole if he was on it and because he was a prior agg charge with a weapon

He went in county 2/15/12. He was done with parole in 2009 on the agg case.

The most basic question that needs to be answered here is whether the Court entered an affirmative finding on the question of a deadly weapon...if so, then the case became a 3g and requires that two calendar years be served at a minimum prior to becoming eligible for parole...and in this case, that means he would never see parole and would simply discharge the case.

If there was no affirmative finding in the new case, then the description of the prior aggravated assault case suggests that he will be ineligible for any consideration of a release to discretionary mandatory supervision and that any release would HAVE to be via a favorable parole vote.

Absent an affirmative finding, then parole eligibilty requires the accumulation of one-quarter of the sentence including good conduct time. That would mean the mathematical computation for eligibility would be just under three months. The reality of processing suggests that it would be about four to five months at the earliest that would be served on the sentence prior to the case getting to the Board for a vote.
