Can two felons that are siblings parole to the same house in the state of Texas?

Interesting question. Typically a condition of release in any state for a parolee is to not have contact with other felons. This is to assist them in not getting back into a life of crime.
The state's right to dictate that comes from the fact that the parolee is released early, so as a condition of that early release, agrees to certain conditions.
However, since the overarching goal is the successful reintegration of the parolee into society, it might be argued that to forbid him from contact with family - or deprive him of a house if his parents wish him to move in with them and his felon brother - would increase his chances of failure.
Section 508.0441 (a) of the Texas law pertaining to what the parole board will determine, includes (2) "conditions of parole or mandatory supervision, including special conditions" and (3) "the modification and withdrawal of conditions of parole or mandatory supervision".
This indicates on first reading - though a local attorney could speak with more authority - that they have the power to let a parolee be in the same house with his felon brother, but it does not compel them to.
The simplest course of action, and ultimately the only one that there really is, is to simply request that special exception from the Parole Officer of the parolee, and see what he says. Obviously if the answer is not liked, an attorney can be sought afterward to see what - if any - options may still then exist.

Can two felons live together if one is on parole?
No, it is illegal for two convicted felons to reside in the same place. They are not even supposed to spend time together outside of the home. If convicted felon #1 got pulled over for something felon#2 could go to jail for guilt by association. The only "loop hole" I know of is if two or more convicted felons were in a vehicle together and had some type of Alchoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous material such as books, pamphlets, journals etc, they would be OK obviously as long as they weren't doing anything illegal! The drug/alcohol recovery material is their reasoning as to why they are together. Another answer: If the terms of either's probation or parole prohibit contact with other convicted felons, no. Another thought: As to the first answer, that won't hold up because anyone could throw AA books in their car and claim they're going to a meeting. No way will a judge let that go. but I don't know the rules about association. However, convicted felons may live together if they are married and the terms and conditions of parole/probation allow for it. It all comes down to that. I suspect that even if two felons are married, if the judge says no, he can enforce it. If they are not married but terms and conditions as set down by judge/parole/probation agent allow a specific couple to reside together, it would only apply to those specific people. The only thing that can be done is to be completely open and honest with judge/PO and find out what is allowed and what isn't as per each individuals terms and conditions.
