Sec. 499.004. RULES; SUPERVISION OF PRE-PAROLEES. (a) The department shall establish policies for the conduct of pre-parolees transferred under this subchapter. (b) On transfer, the pre-parolee is subject to supervision by the parole division and shall obey the orders of the Board of Pardons and Paroles and the parole division. (c) A facility director or designee of a facility director shall immediately report to the parole division in writing if the director or designee believes that a pre-parolee has violated the terms of the pre-parolee's transfer agreement or the rules of the facility. The parole division may require an agent of the parole division or the community residential facility to conduct a hearing. (d) If the parole division has an administrative need to deliver the pre-parolee to the custody of the institutional division or if after a disciplinary hearing the parole division concurs that a violation has occurred, the parole division may deliver the pre-parolee to the actual custody of the institutional division and the institutional division may assign the pre-parolee to a regular unit of the institutional division. If the parole division recommends rescission or revision of the pre-parolee's presumptive parole date, a parole panel shall rescind or revise the date unless it determines the action is inappropriate. (e) Before a pre-parolee is transferred to a community residential facility under this section and before the pre-parolee is released on parole, the department may award good conduct time to the pre-parolee in the same amounts and in the same manner as the department awards good conduct time to inmates in the institutional division under Chapter 498 .
