BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Subchapter F, Chapter 508, Government Code, is | ||

assigned by Section 493.015. | ||
(b) A parole panel shall require as a condition of parole or | ||
mandatory supervision that an illegal criminal alien released to | ||
the custody of United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement: | ||
(1) regardless of whether a final order of deportation | ||
is issued with reference to the illegal criminal alien, leave the | ||
United States as soon as possible after release; and | ||
(2) not unlawfully return to or unlawfully reenter the | ||

required under Section 508.192 and confirms the violation with a | ||

authorized under federal law to verify a person's immigration | ||
status or, in accordance with 8 U.S.C. Section 1373(c), with a | ||
federal law enforcement officer, the determination is considered to | ||

consider mitigating circumstances, if requested by the releasee. | ||
