An inmate can file a motion under Chapter 64 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The department works with the District Attorney’s Office for petitions under Chapter 64 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. In accordance with state law, indigent inmates are provided counsel and DNA testing free of charge.
