MEET THE FOUNDER

Cody Hixo


Before founding Texas Parole Management, Cody Hixon was serving time in TDCJ—where he began helping fellow inmates prepare for parole with nothing more than a law library, a couple soups, and a honey bun. What started as a simple favor turned into a calling.

Today, Cody leads a full-time team committed to walking families through the parole process with honesty, strategy, and lived experience. He’s been there—and now, he’s here to help the next one come home.

TPM FAQ

  • Parole is the discretionary release of an offender by a Board of Pardons and Paroles decision, to serve the remainder of a sentence in the community under supervision. Parole is a privilege, not a right. While the Board is responsible for making release decisions and imposing conditions, the TDCJ Parole Division maintains supervision of the offender.

  • Parole review is the start of the process when a file is prepared for the voting board members. Generally, the parole review process begins approximately 4 to 6 months prior to the parole eligibility date or the next review date. If parole is denied, the review process repeats until parole is granted or the complete sentence is served and discharged.

  • A Parole Plan is a presentation presented to the Parole Board showing justifiable reasons why a person of incarceration is a favorable candidate for parole. A parole plan is utilized to humanize and highlight the potentials of an incarcerated person while reinforcing and emphasizing a solid plan for their successful transition and reintegration into society.

  • We do not hold formal parole “hearings” like we often see on TV. One Board member or parole commissioner is designated as the lead voter. IF there is a victim, then the victim’s interview will take place with that individual only. The setting will depend on which type of interview you select (phone, Zoom, or in person), but all are intended to be informal, confidential opportunities for a crime victim to share thoughts with the lead voter. A meeting at the Board office will take place in a private conference room, and the offender remains incarcerated. Accompaniment can be requested for support and assistance throughout the parole review process by contacting the Board’s Victim Liaison Program.

  • The Board will consider a variety of factors, including but not limited to:

    • severity of the offense

    • support and protest letters

    • length of the sentence vs. the amount of time served

    • the offender’s criminal history

    • how the offender behaved during previous periods of supervision (if applicable)

    • institutional adjustment and behavior

    • the offender’s age.

    Voters will provide reasons for their approval or denial decisions.

    Note that protest letters are confidential and victim input is never provided as a denial reason.
