Texas HB2942 mandates the publication of detailed information about classes and programs required for parole on the Texas Department of Criminal.

Texas HB2942 amends the Texas Government Code to require the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles to publish specific information about classes and programs that inmates must complete before being released on parole. The information includes the curriculum, instructor qualifications, completion rates, accommodations for inmates with disabilities or non-English speakers, assessment methods, and independent evaluation results. If a private vendor provides the class or program, details about the contract and the vendor's history must also be published.
