Before Parole Address Review: Questions and Documents

What this guide covers

• Address details to have ready
• Questions for your officer before you pay
• Planning around review timing

Have the address details ready

Have the full address, the unit you want and your move date. Ask if your officer needs the property's contact info, household details, a draft lease or anything else. What's required comes down to your conditions and the process that applies to you.

Ask about restrictions before paying

• Do any of my conditions rule out this location?
• What do you need to know about the other people living there?
• Can you review a proposed unit before I sign?
• Who gives the final OK, and how do I get it in writing?
• What changes would need a new review?

Keep your officer's instructions and proof of what you turned in. We can't inspect or approve an address for your officer. Leasing staff can't waive a supervision condition.

Be honest about timing

Ask when to follow up. Don't count on a set timeline like five business days. The apartment may want you to commit before the review is done. If so, talk through the risk and your other options with your officer and the property. Silence is not approval.

The TDCJ Parole Division site has the official information. Our parole locating service sends you a list of apartments to look at, and the deadline guide helps you plan a backup.

What to do next

1. Ask your officer what they need right now to review an address.
2. Write down the full address, the unit and your move date for each place you look at.
3. Keep your officer's instructions and proof of what you turned in.
4. Send us your search details. We check community criteria against your record so you have addresses to bring to your officer.
