Public code and process facts
Official definition
Transfer the offender to a TDCJ rehabilitation program, which may include PRTC, FCPRP, SUEP, or another approved tier program; release to parole only after completion and no earlier than six months from the specified date.
In plain English
APPROVED, but a required rehabilitation program comes first. Release cannot happen before six months from the vote's date, or until the program is completed.
What happens next
1. Approval is recorded with a specified month and year. 2. Transfer to an approved TDCJ rehabilitation program occurs; timing varies. 3. The person completes the program; duration varies. 4. Release may occur only after completion and at least six months from the specified date; further timing varies.
What you can do now
- Record the specified month and year shown with the vote.
- Ask the person to share official program and transfer notices.
- Keep the release address and family contact information current.
- Prepare reentry support without treating the six-month point as a guaranteed date.
Families often get this wrong
Six months is a minimum, not a guaranteed release date — and the program must still be completed.
