Mineral Wells Parole Office Role
The TDCJ county assignment directory maps Erath County to the Mineral Wells District Parole Office. The office belongs to TDCJ Parole Division, Region II. It supervises qualifying releasees in the assigned area and addresses public status questions within confidentiality limits. It does not decide parole votes and does not physically release a prisoner from an institution.
The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles decides parole and mandatory-supervision matters. TDCJ Review and Release Processing handles the plan, statutory and program issues, conditions, and certificate steps. A district parole office becomes relevant after state release to supervision. Full discharge ends the relevant sentence or supervision, while parole and mandatory supervision continue it in the community.
Confirm Mineral Wells Supervision
Search the state record before calling. Use SID or the current TDCJ number when possible, since names can match more than one person. TDCJ IVSS covers people in TDCJ custody and those on parole or mandatory supervision. Read the actual Offender Status and Release Date, not just a forecast or parole review result.
- Open TDCJ IVSS or the official TDCJ inmate-information route.
- Search by SID or TDCJ number first, then exact name if necessary.
- Open the matching record and compare identifiers, offense, county, and intake history.
- Confirm an actual Release Date and a status consistent with parole or mandatory supervision.
- Call Mineral Wells with the full name and TDCJ or SID number and ask what public assignment or status can be confirmed.
A favorable Board vote does not prove the person crossed the prison gate. It may depend on a future date, program, plan, or hold clearance. The actual state release record is the required starting point.
Mineral Wells Office Contact
The TDCJ Region II directory publishes the office address, telephone, and fax. Call with identifiers and a narrow status question. Accept that staff may limit what can be disclosed. No office hours were documented in the research, so none should be inferred from another TDCJ office or a general state schedule.

The captured TDCJ county assignment directory documents the official county-to-office lookup used for Erath.
The directory supports the Mineral Wells assignment, while the individual TDCJ status record remains necessary to confirm that a particular person is on supervision.
The location outside Erath County is not an error. TDCJ assigns counties to district offices by its own regional structure. A released person connected to Erath may therefore report through Mineral Wells rather than a Stephenville parole office.
Erath Parole Versus Probation
Erath’s supervision paths split both legally and geographically. State parole and mandatory supervision route through TDCJ and Mineral Wells. Court-ordered probation, also called community supervision, routes through Erath County Community Supervision and Corrections Department at the Donald R. Jones Justice Center in Stephenville. No official statewide public probationer name search was found.
| Question | Parole / mandatory supervision | Probation |
|---|---|---|
| Who imposes it? | Texas state release process under Board and TDCJ authority | An Erath court through its judgment or order |
| Which office? | Mineral Wells District Parole Office | Erath County CSCD |
| First public check | TDCJ IVSS status and release history | Court cause, judgment, and supervision order |
| Does jail release prove it? | No | No |
| What ends it? | TDCJ discharge or other controlling state action | Court discharge or end shown in the supervision record |
A person may leave Erath County Jail on bond with neither status. Bond conditions are not parole. Calling the correct office depends on the judgment and TDCJ record, not on where the arrest occurred.
Mineral Wells Release Records
The parole field office does not replace the TDCJ release record. Use the state offender search for the actual release date, status, facility, and episode history. For a documentary file item, ask TDCJ for an existing release certificate, supervision record, or discharge record through the appropriate records route. State disclosure limits and redactions may apply.
A release certificate can identify the legal form and conditions of state release. A later discharge record addresses sentence completion. Neither document establishes the earlier Erath County Jail transfer date unless it expressly records that event. To rebuild the full chain, pair the sheriff’s transfer transaction with TDCJ intake and then with the later state release record.
The Erath County custody and release search places those sources in order. Current jail status, state prison status, supervision, and discharge should not be merged into a single “released” label.
Mineral Wells Status Terms
TDCJ vocabulary describes distinct stages. A releasee is a person serving the balance of a sentence on parole or mandatory supervision. Parole is discretionary. Mandatory supervision follows a different statute and has eligibility exclusions and review rules. Discharge means the sentence or supervision has ended. Projected or Expected Release Date is a forecast for institutional release and can change.
- Parole
- Discretionary release from prison to serve the balance under state supervision.
- Mandatory supervision
- A separate statutory release form that can be subject to Board review.
- Releasee
- A person under TDCJ parole or mandatory-supervision authority in the community.
- Discharge
- Completion of the relevant sentence or supervision.
- Absconder
- A releasee who stopped reporting and whose whereabouts are unknown.
A parole eligibility date is merely the first date the Board may act. A favorable vote is a decision stage. Neither is an actual physical release date.
Mineral Wells Warrants Questions
TDCJ describes an absconder as a releasee who stops reporting and whose location is unknown. Its Parole Division Warrants Section accepts anonymous tips at 866-680-6667 around the clock. The online Sex Offender Absconder Information Search is narrower than its name may suggest. It is not a complete public list of every parole absconder or supervision warrant.
A parole warrant can arise from absconding, a new allegation, or an administrative violation. It remains active until arrest or withdrawal, but it does not prove a new conviction. Use the TDCJ record and authorized office channels for status. Do not infer a warrant merely because a person misses from a public search or cannot be reached.
Note: The sex-offender absconder search cannot verify the status of every person supervised through Mineral Wells.
Mineral Wells Release Planning
TDCJ Review and Release Processing coordinates parole and mandatory-supervision releases. The unit reviews the release plan, statutory limits, program issues, and special conditions, then issues a certificate when the person is eligible. Its official page lists 8610 Shoal Creek Boulevard in Austin and 512-406-5449. That central function differs from the district office’s field-supervision role.
TDCJ publishes separate lines for separate stages. The parole review line is 844-512-0461. After a favorable vote, the release-status line is 512-406-5202. Calling Mineral Wells before the state record shows actual supervised release may not answer a prison processing question. Use the stage shown in the file to select the channel.
| Stage | Useful channel |
|---|---|
| Board review pending | Parole review line and Board record |
| Favorable vote, not yet released | Post-vote release-status line |
| Actual parole or MS release | TDCJ IVSS and Mineral Wells DPO |
| Ordinary county probation | Erath court and Erath CSCD |
| Full sentence completion | TDCJ discharge record |
About Mineral Wells Parole
Mineral Wells District Parole Office is a Region II TDCJ Parole Division field office. It does not house incarcerated people. It has no jail roster, booking-photo gallery, release gate, detention capacity, or recent-release feed. The facility map includes it because this office is the practical state-supervision contact for people assigned from Erath County after release on parole or mandatory supervision.
The office also does not supervise ordinary local probation. Erath CSCD handles that separate court-based system. This office split is a distinctive Erath feature and a common source of wrong calls. Read the judgment and TDCJ status first, then contact Stephenville for probation or Mineral Wells for state parole and mandatory supervision.
No public office hours, annual Erath caseload, or local release volume was verified. Those figures are omitted. The official directories remain the source for current contact and assignment information.
