Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

In a felony DWI case, an application for a writ of habeas corpus is denied where, although applicant's DWI conviction did not make him statutorily ineligible for release on mandatory supervision, the parole panel properly exercised its discretion under Tex. Gov't Code section 508.149(b) and decided that applicant should nonetheless be kept in custody because of his lack of rehabilitation and potential danger to the community.
