Maverick County Projected Release Meaning
TDCJ defines Projected Release Date as a calculation made by its Classification and Records Office. It estimates when a state prisoner may leave incarceration if parole does not occur sooner. It is not a promise. Offense date, offense class, mandatory-supervision eligibility, time credits, Board action, detainers, discipline, release-plan review, and record audits can change it.
Four labels answer different questions. Parole Eligibility Date marks a point when review may begin. Projected Release Date is a calculated state custody endpoint. Maximum Sentence Date is the sentence endpoint under TDCJ's calculation. Scheduled Release Date and Scheduled Release Location, when posted after processing, are operational fields that can still change.
Find Maverick County Projected Dates
Start with the last known custodian. TDCJ fields apply only after a person has entered Texas state prison. They do not calculate a Maverick County bond release or a sentence served solely in county jail.
- Identify whether the person is pretrial, serving a county sentence, or in TDCJ.
- For TDCJ, search by TDCJ or SID number when possible, then compare identity, offense, and conviction county.
- Copy every date label separately, including eligibility, projected release, maximum sentence, and any scheduled release fields.
- Check the Board of Pardons and Paroles status when parole or discretionary mandatory supervision may apply.
- Recheck near the projected date, then verify actual release through the agency record or notification.
The official TDCJ inmate search is limited to people currently incarcerated in a TDCJ facility, with working-day information at least 24 hours old. It is not a released-person archive. If a former state prisoner no longer appears, use the TDCJ email information route or formal TDCJ Open Records.
The search form below shows the official state route used for a person received by TDCJ. Its fields must not be used to infer a county jail release.
The captured form supports searches by state identifiers or name. Matching conviction county and birth information helps avoid a namesake.
Maverick County Jail Release Calculation
A person awaiting trial in Maverick County Jail has no sentence endpoint to calculate. Release can depend on bond, personal bond, dismissal, a court order, or the end of another hold. A future hearing date is not a release date. Ask the relevant clerk for the docket and bond or release order, then ask the Sheriff for the physical custody record.
A county sentence also follows a different calculation from TDCJ. The judgment, jail-time credit, applicable county-jail good-conduct rules, court orders, and the Sheriff's computation control. No authoritative Maverick County source located in the research published its local computation method. Request the jail's existing calculation record or release sheet and the judgment rather than applying the TDCJ field.
| Custody situation | Best date source |
|---|---|
| Pretrial Maverick County detainee | Court bond or release order plus Sheriff custody record |
| Maverick County sentence | Judgment, jail-time credit, and Sheriff calculation or release sheet |
| TDCJ state prisoner | TDCJ detail, Classification and Records, and BPP status |
| Federal prisoner | BOP Locator and federal docket |
Felony court records route through the Maverick County District Clerk. County-level cases route through the County Clerk, while lower-level matters may remain in municipal or justice court. A legal order may authorize release before jail staff finish the physical process.
Texas Good Time Release Rules
Texas Government Code chapter 498 governs good-conduct time within the broader offense-date framework. Good time is a classification and release-eligibility credit. It is not a number that a reader can safely subtract from a sentence. Credits may be forfeited, restored in limited settings, or excluded from a particular parole calculation.
For mandatory-supervision-eligible offenses before September 1, 1996, TDCJ describes the projected point as flat time plus good time equaling the sentence, absent earlier parole. For eligible offenses committed after August 31, 1996, reaching that point does not compel release. The Board must approve discretionary mandatory supervision. For an offense that is not eligible, projected release ordinarily follows maximum expiration using flat time unless parole happens sooner.
Parole eligibility under Texas Government Code section 508.145 varies with the offense, findings, sentence, and governing law. Certain serious offenses use calendar-time thresholds, and good time does not advance the first eligibility point. Eligibility means review may occur. It is not approval and not physical release.
- Flat time
- Calendar time actually served in custody.
- Good-conduct time
- A statutory credit affecting classification or certain eligibility calculations.
- Parole eligibility
- The first point at which the case may qualify for Board review.
- Maximum expiration
- The calculated endpoint of the sentence if no earlier release applies.
Maverick County Date Changes
A projected date can move in either direction. The reason should be confirmed through the office that maintains the calculation, not inferred from the changed number alone.
| Factor | Possible effect | Where to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Disciplinary action | Loss or change in time credits can move the forecast later. | TDCJ Classification and Records |
| BPP decision | Approval can permit processing; denial can move a date toward maximum expiration. | BPP status and TDCJ record |
| Detainer or warrant | One custody term may end while another authority takes control. | Holding and receiving agencies |
| Court order or corrected credit | A judgment change or audit can alter the computation. | Court docket and records office |
| Release plan | Residence, program, certificate, or audit work can delay physical release. | Review and Release Processing |
A favorable parole vote is not a same-day release order. Review and Release Processing still examines the plan, conditions, required programs, and certificate. The status route at 512-406-5202 is for state cases after approval, not for a Maverick County bond release.
Note: A detainer can cause transfer at the end of one sentence, so the first agency's release date may not mean return to the community.
Texas Maximum Expiration Shift
Texas has a distinctive computation issue. A post-1996 prisoner may reach the time-credit point for discretionary mandatory supervision, yet the Board can deny release. TDCJ's definitions explain that the projected date can then be recalculated to maximum expiration. A later approval may move it earlier again for processing.
This makes the field a legal and administrative forecast, not simple sentence arithmetic. Offense-date law and a person-specific Board decision matter. The distinction is especially important for Maverick County readers because a county jail sentence does not use this state projected-date field at all.
No authoritative source found a Maverick County weekend or holiday release rule. Do not promise a Friday release when a calculated date lands on a weekend, and do not assume an entrance or hour. Call the Sheriff at 830-773-2321 and ask for the current written procedure.
Confirm Maverick County Actual Release
Near a state projected date, copy the TDCJ detail again and check whether a scheduled location has appeared. Then check the BPP decision and state release processing. After the event, request the existing incarceration history or release facts if the public detail no longer returns the person.
TDCJ's no-charge email information service asks for a full name and seven-digit TDCJ number. If the number is unknown, provide exact birth date or approximate age and conviction county. For an authoritative historical record, use TDCJ Open Records and identify the desired release date, release type, and date range.
For county custody, email openrecords@co.maverick.tx.us and request the existing booking and release sheet, jail card, custody-history printout, or equivalent. Ask for the physical release time, release type, and transfer destination where public. A pending alert through the Maverick County VINELink check is useful notice, but the source record remains the better confirmation.
Audit Maverick County Date Labels
When several dates appear, copy each label and its access date. Parole eligibility marks a review point. Projected release is the current TDCJ calculation if parole does not occur sooner. Maximum sentence date is the calculated endpoint. A scheduled release date and location are later operational fields. None should be silently substituted for another.
The offense date matters because Texas mandatory-supervision rules changed. For eligible offenses before September 1, 1996, TDCJ describes the projected point through flat time plus good time. For eligible offenses after August 31, 1996, reaching that point still requires discretionary approval by the Board. A denial can move the forecast to maximum expiration, while a later approval can move it earlier for release processing.
| Date or event | Question it answers |
|---|---|
| Parole eligibility | When can Board review begin? |
| Projected release | What is TDCJ's current forecast? |
| Maximum sentence | What is the calculated sentence endpoint? |
| Scheduled release | What operational date is currently posted? |
| Actual release record | When did physical custody end? |
For a Maverick County sentence, ask for the judgment, jail-time credit, Sheriff's calculation record, and release sheet. TDCJ good time cannot be applied to a person who never entered state custody. The county research found no published local weekend-release rule, release hour, or calculation policy, so direct confirmation is required near the expected date.
Maverick Release Holds and Destinations
A projected sentence endpoint can coexist with a detainer, warrant, or transfer order. The releasing agency may correctly close its record while another custodian receives the person. Request the destination field and check the receiving system. TDCJ, another county, USMS, BOP, and ICE each require their own confirmation.
After the event, compare the scheduled field with the actual release or transfer entry. If they differ, retain both rather than overwriting the forecast. The difference may reflect a Board decision, credit adjustment, discipline, court order, plan issue, detainer, or final records audit. Only the agency maintaining the calculation can identify the controlling reason for one person.
A court hearing date is not a custody end date. A judge may issue a bond or release order, but staff still must confirm identity, resolve holds, complete records, and carry out the order. Use the docket for legal authority and the jail or TDCJ record for the physical event. That two-record check matters when an estimate is given before processing ends.
A useful date check preserves the complete label and the day it was retrieved. Do not shorten “Parole Eligibility Date” to “release date,” or replace a Maximum Sentence Date with a promised exit. When a scheduled location appears, confirm it again near the event because classification, plan approval, detainers, and final audits can alter processing. Afterward, request the actual release or transfer entry. That final record shows whether the forecast occurred and which authority, if any, received the person next.
