Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Texas:
Section 1. Article 42.12, Code of Criminal Procedure, 1965, as
amended, is amended by amending « Sections 1, 2, 12, 13, 16, 20, 21, ZZ,
24, 26, 27, 28, 30, and 31, and by adding" Section 3f to read as follows:
} "Section 1. It is the purpose of this Article to place wholly within
the State courts of appropriate jurisdiction the responsibility for deter
mining when the imposition of sentence in certain cases shall be sus
pended, the conditions of probation, and the supervision of probationers,
in consonance with the powers assigned to the judicial branch of this
government by the Constitution of Texas. It is also the intent of this
Article to provide for the release of persons on parole and for the meth
od thereof, to designate the Board of Pardons and Paroles as the re
sponsible agency of State government to recommend determination of
paroles and to further designate the Board of Pardons and Paroles as
responsible for the investigation and supervision of persons released on
parole. It is the intent of this Article to aid all prisoners to readjust
to society upon completion of their period of incarceration by providing a
program of mandatory supervision for those prisoners not released on
parole or through executive clemency and to designate the Board of
Pardons and Paroles as the agency of government responsible for the
program. It is the final purpose of this Article to remove from existing
statutes the limitations, other than questions of constitutionality, that
have acted as barriers to effective systems of probations and paroles in
the public interest.
"Sec. 2. This Article may be cited as the 'Adult Probation, Parole,
and Mandatory Supervision Law*. .-..*• «. h

) "Sec. 27. All information obtained in connection with inmates of the
Texas Department of Corrections subject to parole, release to mandatory
supervision, or executive clemency or individuals who may be on manda
tory supervision or parole and under the supervision of the division, or
persons directly identified in any proposed plan of release for a prisoner,

request. It is further provided, that statistical and general information

Ch. 347 65th LEGISLATURE—REGULAR SESSION
Sec. 3. Title 108, Revised Civil Statutes of Texas, 1925, as amended
is amended by adding" Article 6181—1 to read as follows:
"Art. 6181—1. Inmate classification and good conduct time
"Section 1. For the purpose of this Article:
"(1) 'Department' means the Texas Department of Corrections.
"(2) 'Director' means the Director of the Texas Department of Cor
rections.
"(3) 'Inmate' means a person confined by order of a court in the Texas
Department of Corrections, whether he is actually confined in the insti
tution or is under the supervision or custody of the Board of Pardons and
Paroles.
"(4) 'Term' means the maximum term of confinement in the Texas
Department of Corrections stated in the sentence of the convicting court.
When two or more sentences are to be served consecutively and not con
currently, the aggregate of the several terms shall be considered the
term for purposes of this Article. When two or more sentences are to
run concurrently, the term with the longest maximum confinement will
be considered the term for the purposes of this Article.
"Sec. 2. The department shall classify all inmates as soon as prac
ticable upon their arrival at the department and shall reclassify inmates
as circumstances may warrant. All inmates shall be classified according
to their conduct, obedience, industry, and prior criminal history. The
director shall maintain a record on each inmate showing all classifica
tions and reclassifications with dates and reasons therefor.
"Sec. 3. (a) Inmates shall accrue good conduct time based upon
their classification as follows:
"(1) 20 days for each 30 days actually served while the inmate is
) classified as a Class I inmate ;
"(2) 10 days for each 30 days actually served while the inmate is
classified as a Class II inmate; and
"(3) 10 additional days for each 30 days actually served if the inmate
is a trusty.
. ',(b).£r<>Jg0od conduct time shall accrue during any period the inmate
is classified as a Class III inmate or is on parole or under mandatory
supervision.
"Sec. 4. Good conduct time applies only to eligibility for parole or
mandatory supervision as provided in Section 15, Article 42.12, Code of
Criminal Procedure, 1965, as amended, and shall not otherwise affect the
inmate s term. Good conduct time is a privilege and not a right. Conse
quently, if during the actual term of imprisonment in the department,
an inmate commits an offense or violates a rule of the department all
or any part of his accrued good conduct time may be forfeited by'the
director. The director may, however, in his discretion, restore good con
duct time forfeited under such circumstances subject to rules and policies
to be promulgated by the department. Upon revocation of parole or man
datory supervision, the inmate loses all good conduct time previously
accrued, but upon return to the department may accrue new good con
duct time for subsequent time served in the department.
i'SeC.' i5*,.]* the. re.lea8e of an inmate falls upon a Saturday, Sunday,
or legal holiday, the inmate may, at the discretion of the director, be re
leased on the preceding workday."
