Crockett County Supervision Types
Parole and probation are not two names for one status. Parole follows a release from a Texas Department of Criminal Justice institution while the prison sentence continues. Mandatory supervision is also a release from secure TDCJ custody under statutory and Board rules. The TDCJ Parole Division then oversees the person. Probation, formally called community supervision in Texas, is ordered by a court and managed through a community supervision and corrections department, or CSCD. It may be ordered without any prison term.
A person who posts bond at Crockett County Jail is not automatically on either form of supervision. Bond conditions arise from the pending court case. A transfer from the jail to TDCJ is also not a community release. The distinction matters because the Crockett County Sheriff controls the jail release transaction, BPP controls parole decisions, TDCJ controls state custody and parole supervision records, and the sentencing court and CSCD control probation.
| Question | Parole or mandatory supervision | Probation |
|---|---|---|
| How it begins | Release from a TDCJ unit while a sentence continues | Court order placing a person on community supervision |
| Decision authority | Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles under applicable law | Sentencing court |
| Supervising system | TDCJ Parole Division | Assigned CSCD |
| Best verification | TDCJ number or SID, BPP status, and assigned parole office | Judgment or supervision order and assigned CSCD |
| End point | Discharge, revocation, or other lawful sentence outcome | Court-ordered completion, discharge, revocation, or modification |
Verify Crockett County Parole Status
Start with identity, not a broad name match. A TDCJ number or State Identification number is strongest. Exact date of birth may also help. The TDCJ online offender search only returns people currently incarcerated in a TDCJ facility, so a missing result does not prove discharge. A person on parole has left secure confinement but may still be serving the sentence.
- Confirm the full name, TDCJ number or SID, and date of birth from a reliable record.
- Use TDCJ telephone information for location and status. Call 844-512-0461 when a Board vote is pending.
- After approval, call 512-406-5202 for approved parole-release status. Ask whether release processing is still pending.
- Read the actual BPP decision and date. An approval code may set a later month or require a program before release.
- After physical release, confirm the assigned district parole office through the official TDCJ county directory.
The distinction between a vote and release is strict. FI-1 means release when eligible, while FI-2 points to a future month and year. Other FI codes can require transfer to or completion of a program. RMS refers to release to mandatory supervision. The BPP voting-options definitions control the meaning of the code shown in a case.
The official BPP vote-options screen shows why a short status label needs context. Review the current Board definitions at their source before treating any approval as a release.
Those decision codes describe Board action and conditions. They do not document the moment a person walked out of a TDCJ unit.
Note: TDCJ lists its general offender information lines as available from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays.
Check Crockett County Probation
Crockett County has no official online probationer locator in the sources reviewed. There is also no county-published absconder list. The sound route begins with the criminal case. Ask the Crockett County Clerk or Crockett County District Clerk to route a request for the judgment, supervision order, modification, or revocation record held in the relevant case.
The court file can establish that community supervision was ordered, its term, and later court action. It may not reveal current reporting instructions or sensitive operational details. The assigned CSCD controls those details. Crockett County belongs to a multi-county CSCD structure with Brewster, Jeff Davis, Pecos, Presidio, Reagan, Sutton, and Upton counties. The state directory identifies Pecos as the main contact county. Check the current TDCJ Community Justice Assistance Division locations and CSCD directory before calling because assignments and office details can change.
Use a cause number when possible. A court order, docket entry, and CSCD confirmation serve different roles. The order proves what the judge directed. The CSCD can confirm where an active case is administered within lawful disclosure limits.
Crockett County Supervision Offices
Crockett County parole cases do not route to an office in Ozona. TDCJ maps the county to the San Angelo District Parole Office in Region V. Probation follows the separate multi-county CSCD route. Sending a probation inquiry to San Angelo solely because both systems supervise people in the community can delay a clear answer.
San Angelo District Parole Office, Region V
Parole and mandatory supervision only
1070 Gateway Drive
San Angelo, TX 76905
Phone: 325-947-8644
Fax: 325-947-8599
Verify current assignment through the TDCJ county-to-office cross-reference. The directory lists Amanda Spruill for this office.
For probation, begin with the sentencing court and current CSCD directory. Pecos is named as the main contact county for the eight-county arrangement, but a court or CSCD may direct a specific case to another office. Neither office is the place to prove a bond release from Crockett County Jail; that fact belongs to the sheriff’s release transaction and court file.
Crockett County Parole Decisions
Texas parole review is commonly a file review by a three-member panel, not a courtroom-style public hearing. Two votes determine the result. BPP reports that interviews are discretionary. TDCJ identifies cases before initial eligibility and later review dates, but an administrative Board calendar should not be presented as a person-by-person parole hearing calendar.
An approval can carry conditions, a future release plan, or a required program. A denial can set a later review month. NR sets a next-review period; SA generally calls for service of the remaining sentence subject to applicable law; DMS denies mandatory-supervision release and can set another review. The BPP review-process page and decision record should be read together.
The Board’s review page illustrates the administrative process behind a status result. Consult the official BPP process description for current panel practice.
The process explains why neither an eligibility date nor a scheduled review proves that a Crockett County person has been released.
Crockett County Supervision Violations
An absconder is generally a person alleged to have stopped reporting or made supervision difficult to carry out. That status is not the same as current incarceration. A warrant may follow, and a revocation process can return a person to custody, but the existence, service, and disposition of a warrant are separate events. No official Crockett County online absconder or supervision-warrant list was found.
Conditions vary by order and case. They can concern reporting, travel, programs, contact, payment, or conduct. A suspected breach does not by itself prove revocation. For parole, use TDCJ or the assigned parole office and the Board record. For probation, use the sentencing court and assigned CSCD. Public records can omit confidential victim data, treatment information, or operational supervision details.
- Parole
- Conditional release from TDCJ custody while the prison sentence remains active.
- Probation
- Court-ordered community supervision, which may be imposed without a prison release.
- Absconder
- A supervision status alleging that a person is unavailable or has stopped required contact.
- Revocation
- A formal process that can end supervision and return a person to custody.
- Discharge
- The lawful end of the sentence or supervision term, distinct from release on parole.
Note: A missing jail-roster entry proves neither active supervision nor discharge; each status requires a record from its own custodian.
Crockett County Parole Notifications
Texas uses TDCJ’s Integrated Victim Services System for state custody, parole, and mandatory-supervision events. IVSS has a limited public status search and confidential registration for available notices. The service may use email, text, letter, or certain phone notices. Its hotline is 800-848-4284. Registration and event coverage should be checked in the live system.
The TDCJ IVSS portal is the correct state-prison notification layer. County VINELink is a different channel. Crockett County’s sheriff links to VINELink for participating county custody status, but that does not make VINELink a substitute for IVSS after a transfer into TDCJ. Neither alert service replaces an official release record.
Final discharge is also distinct from physical release. A person can leave secure custody on parole and remain under sentence. To document the whole sequence, retain the BPP decision, TDCJ release confirmation, supervision record, and later discharge record. The broader county release search and records path appears on the Crockett County released inmates home page.
When records disagree, keep each event with its source and date. The sheriff owns a county jail release entry, the court owns its supervision order, BPP owns its vote, and TDCJ owns the prison release and parole record. A court date can precede jail processing, and a Board approval can precede a unit release by days or longer. Ask the agency that created the disputed event to correct or explain its record. Do not select whichever date seems most convenient.
