Best Answer

As an inmate in a correctional facility, offenders are wards of the state. So, technically yes. While on parole you are still under the jurisdiction of the DOC. As such, you are legally still incarcerated, your "freedom" is conditional. That is you are under the direct supervision of the DOC with specific conditions under which you must live to remain in this special status. The DOC may at any time revoke your parole and return you to prison for the remainder of your sentence if at any time they perceive a threat to the public or public safety. Typically this is indicated by a violation by the parolee of the conditions under which the parolee lives.

The DOC is ultimately responsible for the parolee.

Both his behavior and the results of that behavior.

Until that responsibility comes to an end, the parolee/offender is the state's ward.

Can you be emanicpated at 16 when you live in Texas and you are also on parole?

If you are currently on parole, you cannot be emancipated at any age. Parole is a conditional form of release; you are still under the jurisdiction of the DOC. When you were first sentenced and placed in the custody of the DOC you became a ward of the state. You will not be emancipated until you are released from parole.

Why do most parole boards deny inmates the legal representation at parole release hearings?

Simply because it is not a Constitutional requirement. Those facing a parole board are doing so post conviction. The only time a US citizen is guaranteed access to legal representation for any sort of hearing is pre-conviction. Additionally, as an inmate of a state correctional facility, the offender is a ward of the state. It can be argued that the parole hearing is for the benefit of the offender, and the parole board already represents the offender.

Transferring to another state while on parole can be done after negotiating with the parole officer and parole board.
