Texas families
Texas: build your loved one's parole packet yourself, with a guide that's on your side.
The Parole Path Texas Family Kit gives you templates and a step-by-step guide so you can gather support letters, a home plan, and a job plan, organize them, and mail them yourself.
Good to know: Texas doesn't require a packet or any special format, and you don't need to hire anyone to send support letters. Our kit is for families who want help getting organized. Texas Family Kit: $29.
- Support letter templates and tips: a few clear, heartfelt letters about the support waiting at home, like a job, a place to live, transportation, or treatment.
- A home plan worksheet: who your loved one will live with, with that person's name, address, and phone.
- A job plan worksheet: job offers, work history, and skills.
- A step-by-step guide: how to put your loved one's full name and Texas prison ID number on every page, where to mail support letters, and why sending early helps.
You put the packet together and mail it yourself. Parole Path does not contact the Board, submit anything, or act on anyone's behalf, and no one can promise a parole decision. Parole Path is not a law firm, does not give legal advice, and does not represent anyone before the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles.
