The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles (BPP) has the authority to grant, deny, or revoke parole or mandatory supervision. The BPP determines the rules and conditions of release for parole and mandatory supervision. It can also recommend a prisoner for clemency. The 18-member board reviews requests and makes recommendations to the Governor regarding requests for pardons and 30-day stays of execution.
