11. Review and consent

The information is accurate to the best of my knowledge. Parole Path may email the supporters, host, and employers I listed, only to collect letters and confirm details. I understand Parole Path cannot guarantee any parole decision, is not a law firm, and does not give legal advice. Texas: I understand this is a self-help kit, not representation. Parole Path does not represent anyone before the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles, and my family will submit everything ourselves.
