How long would a person be in jail for violating parole in Texas?
Another great question, however, this also can’t be answered in a quick blog post. The short version is: it depends on how much time was left on the sentence at the time of the parole. Any street time (time spent out “on the street” while on parole) will not be credited if the defendant is revoked, so they could potentially face whatever the rest of their original sentence was. I typically don’t handle parole violations; I usually refer folks to Gary Cohen because he’s the best Texas parole attorney I know.
