Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Ex Parte Roger Canada
May 11, 19881988 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 88
Summary
The Court held that Texas statutes denying flat time credit for periods of confinement between the issuance of a parole‑revocation warrant and a subsequent revocation hearing violate the Fourteenth Amendment and the Texas Constitution, and therefore the applicant is entitled to credit for the 74‑day confinement preceding the first parole continuation; the second period of confinement was already credited and no relief was granted.
