PAROLE DECODER TURNS TEXAS'S CONFUSING PRISON RECORDS INTO PLAIN ENGLISH. When someone you love is in a Texas prison, the official website hands you codes and dates nobody explains — "FI-6R," a set-off date, a projected release of the year 9999, "Unavailable at this time." Parole Decoder translates all of it using the state's own public data. Look up your loved one. See where they are, what their parole status means, and what may come next — in language a family can understand. Save people you care about and keep their latest public information organized in My People. WHAT YOU CAN DO — FREE - Search the official TDCJ population data by name or TDCJ number - See current unit, parole review status, decisions, and dates — each explained - Save people and see their latest public status in one place - Decode parole vote codes (FI-1 through FI-18R, CU-FI, RMS, NR, SA, DMS) - Browse all 104 TDCJ units with address, phone, visitation, and medical information - See statewide public-data statistics with clear sources and limitations - Preview the Personal Release Roadmap and Family Guide FAMILY MEMBERSHIP Stop repeatedly checking the state website. Family monitors up to five selected public records and sends a privacy-conscious notification when selected fields change. It also unlocks the complete auditable change history, full Personal Release Roadmap with possible next steps and a focused family checklist, and the complete Family Guide covering review, support letters, visitation, phone, money, and mail. Choose $2.99 monthly or $19.99 annually. Both plans include the same Family features. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. The subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in App Store account settings. THE DATA YOU CAN TRUST Every number comes from official State of Texas public records — the TDCJ High Value Dataset and TDCJ release records. Parole Decoder does not predict approval or promise a release date. An alert means the app first observed a change; it is not an official effective date. Always confirm critical information with official sources. The app interface is available in English, Spanish, Chinese, and Vietnamese. The vote-code dictionary is available in all four; the long-form guide is currently English and Spanish. Parole Decoder is an independent educational resource. It is not affiliated with TDCJ or the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles, and nothing in it is legal advice.
