Parole Hearings Can Change Everything
Legal Representation for Parole Revocation in Houston
Parole Hearings in Harris County
A parole hearing is not just a meeting. It is a decision point that can send someone back to prison or allow them to remain home with their family. If you're being accused of violating parole, the outcome depends on how you respond, what is presented during the hearing, and whether someone is there to speak for you.
At Parrish Law Firm, we represent people at risk of having their parole revoked. That includes missed check-ins, failed drug tests, new arrests, or technical violations. We know how much is on the line. Not every violation is as clear as the report claims, and not every situation should result in a return to custody.
Some of our clients made a mistake. Others were in the wrong place or dealing with difficult circumstances. Our role is to defend your position, speak for you clearly, and fight for a chance to stay on the right track.
What Happens at a Parole Hearing?
Once a violation is reported, a hearing is scheduled. At that hearing:
- The state presents its case
- You are allowed to speak and present evidence
- Witnesses may be questioned
- A hearing officer submits a recommendation
- The parole board reviews everything and makes a final decision
Without legal help, many people walk into these hearings unprepared. Others do not fully understand the impact until it is too late. A revocation does not just mean finishing a sentence. It can reset everything.
How We Approach These Cases
We review the terms of your parole and the evidence being used. If the violation is based on weak facts or a misunderstanding, we push for dismissal. If there was a mistake, we work to show your progress, explain the context, and propose supervision alternatives instead of full revocation. That could include treatment, counseling, or increased reporting instead of prison time.
