John Montford Release Routes

John Montford Unit belongs to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Correctional Institutions Division. A community release from Montford is a TDCJ event, not a county-jail release. One person may discharge the sentence fully. Another may leave prison on parole or mandatory supervision while remaining under state legal custody. A third may move to another prison for custody, care, or programming.

Those distinctions change what the record means. Discharge marks sentence completion. Parole is discretionary conditional release. Mandatory supervision is also supervised release. Transfer is continued confinement. A unit change must never be described as release to the community.

Confirm John Montford Releases

Start with the TDCJ inmate search. Search by TDCJ number or SID when known. Otherwise use name and available filters. The service is aimed at current inmates and is updated on working days with data at least a day old, so failure to find a former prisoner is not a released-status result.

1. Match the name with TDCJ or SID number and offense data.
2. Read current facility, projected date, maximum sentence date, and parole-review fields.
3. Look for a scheduled release date and location only when later processing has posted them.
4. Call inmate information or Review and Release Processing when the web record is missing or unclear.
5. After supervised release, verify the district office through TDCJ Parole Division.

TDCJ accepts a full name and seven-digit number by email. Without the number, provide exact birth date or approximate age and county of conviction. The broader Lubbock County release search explains why this state route stays separate from the county jail.

John Montford Release Contacts

The unit can confirm basic facility routing, but statewide records offices control many release details. Use the person’s full name and TDCJ or SID number. Ask for existing release, discharge, or transfer data, not a new prediction.

TDCJ general inmate information is available at (936) 295-6371 and (800) 535-0283, weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The post-approval release-status line is (512) 406-5202. Review and Release Processing is at 8610 Shoal Creek Boulevard, Austin, TX 78757, with an office number of (512) 406-5449. Recheck a date because scheduling can change.

John Montford Prison Profile

TDCJ identifies Montford as a male unit with capacity for 950 people. Custody includes outside trusties and all custody levels that need medical or mental-health treatment. The unit provides round-the-clock medical care, an infirmary, and inpatient mental-health capacity. Those functions make movement between Montford and other TDCJ facilities especially plausible.

Montford is not a local booking jail. People there are in the state prison system. The Lubbock County Detention Center roster cannot report their prison location, projected date, or state release status.

Montford Projected Release Records

TDCJ defines Projected Release Date as a calculation by Classification and Records. It reflects the sentence and applicable release rules, and it can change. A Scheduled Release Date and Scheduled Release Location appear later, after processing advances far enough. Even a scheduled date is not guaranteed.

Maximum sentence date, parole eligibility, next review, and projected release answer different questions. Eligibility means the Board may consider release. It is not approval. Approval may still require a program, residential plan, certificate, audit, or other action. The actual release record is the safer proof after the event occurs.

A complete verification should preserve the TDCJ or SID number, the offense of record, the maximum sentence date, and any posted release location. Then compare those fields with the later discharge certificate, parole paperwork, or sentencing-court record. Names alone can match more than one person. A date copied before the final audit may also become stale, especially when sentences, credits, detainers, or Board requirements are still being reviewed.

Montford Parole Release Records

The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles decides parole and mandatory-supervision matters. Ordinary review is a file vote, not a public hearing. A three-member panel votes, and two matching votes decide the case. Approval codes can require more work before release; denial codes may set another review point.

After prison release, the TDCJ Parole Division owns the supervision route. The Lubbock District Parole Office is at 1720 East Regis Street, Lubbock, TX 79403, and its number is (806) 747-8282. A person released from Montford may be assigned elsewhere based on the approved plan, so confirm the actual office through the current directory.

Montford Medical Transfer History

Montford’s prison, psychiatric, medical, geriatric, dialysis, surgical, and long-term-care components came online from 1994 through 1996. This history explains why a Montford disappearance needs special care. The person may have returned to another TDCJ unit after treatment rather than left state custody.

The official Montford profile documents that specialized role and is shown below.

Montford Release Date Changes

Texas does not use one blanket rule that every state prisoner serves a fixed percentage. Government Code Chapter 498 governs good-conduct time, which affects eligibility but does not reduce the sentence itself. Chapter 508 sets different eligibility rules based on offense, sentence, findings, and offense date. Credits can also be lost.

For that reason, do not calculate a Montford release date from the sentence alone. Use TDCJ’s posted calculation and verify it near the expected date. A detainer, Board action, program requirement, new court order, sentence audit, or forfeited credit can change the path.
