§ GV.508.283. SANCTIONS

SANCTIONS. (a) After a parole panel or designated agent of the board has held a hearing under Section 508.281 , in any manner warranted by the evidence: (1) the board may recommend to the governor to continue, revoke, or modify the conditional pardon; and (2) a parole panel may continue, revoke, or modify the parole or mandatory supervision. (b) If the parole, mandatory supervision, or conditional pardon of a person described by Section 508.149 (a) is revoked, the person may be required to serve the remaining portion of the sentence on which the person was released. The remaining portion is computed without credit for the time from the date of the person's release to the date of revocation. (c) If the parole, mandatory supervision, or conditional pardon of a person other than a person described by Section 508.149 (a) is revoked, the person may be required to serve the remaining portion of the sentence on which the person was released. For a person who on the date of issuance of a warrant or summons initiating the revocation process is subject to a sentence the remaining portion of which is greater than the amount of time from the date of the person's release to the date of issuance of the warrant or summons, the remaining portion is to be served without credit for the time from the date of the person's release to the date of revocation. For a person who on the date of issuance of the warrant or summons is subject to a sentence the remaining portion of which is less than the amount of time from the date of the person's release to the date of issuance of the warrant or summons, the remaining portion is to be served without credit for an amount of time equal to the remaining portion of the sentence on the date of issuance of the warrant or citation. (d) If a warrant is issued charging a violation of a release condition or a summons is issued for a hearing under Section 508.281 , the sentence time credit may be suspended until a determination is made in the case. The suspended time credit may be reinstated if the parole, mandatory supervision, or conditional pardon is continued. (e) If a person's parole or mandatory supervision is modified after it is established that the person violated conditions of release, the board may require the releasee to remain under custodial supervision in a county jail for a period of not less than 60 days or more than 180 days. A sheriff is required to accept an inmate sanctioned under this subsection only if the commissioners court of the county in which the sheriff serves and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice have entered into a contract providing for the housing of persons sanctioned under this subsection.
