What is the statute of litations on parole violation in Texas when a person is in another state but paroled by Texas?

There is none. Absconding is an open felony. If not apprehended, you are a fugitive. Look at the case of the woman who absconded/escaped from the Michigan DOC 20+ years ago and was apprehended in California earlier this year. Look at the case of Roman Polanski. If you abscond or escape, you will be listed as a fugitive, you will be captured eventually, and you will do the time. Consider whether you want to do the time now or when you are 70 or older. Your best bet is to face it now and be done.

Yes. A bb gun is not a firearm.

Federal law - " any weapon (including a starter gun) which will or is designed to or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive"

Can I own a firearm when discharged from parole?

This ALL depends on what state you live in, and what crime you committed. In most states, you must have a clean record to possess a firearm with no felonies, so if it is a misdemeanor, it takes the time they tell you to have it expunged from your record. If it is a felony, you can NEVER own a gun legally.

Where can you find a sample letter to the parole board to request denial of parole?

I'm not certain there are any. However, it shouldn't be that difficult to write one of your own.

Simply state in clear language why you believe the offender should not be paroled. Keep in mind that your reasons should be real and compelling, not just opinion or a desire for vengeance. (Not that I am suggesting such is the case).

The parole board is made up of people just like you and me. They do not require any special formatted letter to help them make a decision. In fact, they see form letters and governmental forms all the time. A good, handwritten letter will make more of an impact on them than any computer generated form letter.

Is it likely that you will get parole after serving only 9 months off a 3 year bit?

Typically, no. However, it will be more accurately determined by your original sentence and the statutory sentencing laws of the state in which you were convicted and sentenced.

For instance, the only way an inmate in Michigan or any of the other Truth in Sentencing states could be reviewed for parole after only nine months would be if the minimum sentence he received was nine months. the shortest term of incarceration I have ever heard of in the MDOC or any state DOC is one year, and most offenders serve eighteen months.

Expect to serve at least half the maximum sentence. There is a saying in prison: "Hope for the best, but expect the worst."

If your maximum sentence was three years, count yourself fortunate, learn your lesson, and change the direction of your life. With a sentence of only three years, you were given a second chance that many never receive.

Does everyone on parole serve a prison sentence before being released?

Parole is in essence an inmate being allowed to serve their time in the community. All parolees have been to prison. Probation which is an alternative to prison is different even though some felons who have topped a prison sentence are granted probation on a new conviction.
