TX HB280

Allows parolees to file a motion requesting sentence termination if they have been on parole for at least 10 years without revocation and are not required to register as a sex offender

Requires the motion to include rehabilitation evidence such as employment history, educational/training programs completed, volunteer activities, and letters of support

Courts must notify the prosecuting attorney and request conduct information from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice; the court has 180 days to review and decide on the motion

Sentence termination may only be granted if the court determines it is in the best interest of justice, the public, and the person; termination is unconditional and counts as full discharge of the sentence

Takes effect December 1, 2025, contingent upon voter approval of a related constitutional amendment proposed by the 89th Legislature
