For Texas cases, the answer is it varies depending on the crime and the decision of the Parole Board.

For capital murder: as of September 1, 2005, Texas will have a life without the possibility of parole option for capital murder. The capital murder defendant sentenced to life in prison before September 1, 2005, is parole eligible after serving forty years.
