Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

In conviction and sentencing for unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and subsequent conviction for robbery for crime committed while on parole, application for writ of habeas corpus is denied where a person released on parole or mandatory supervision is not entitled to credit for "street time" on his original sentence under Texas Government Code section 508.283(c) when, after release but before revocation, he begins serving a sentence on a new conviction for an offense that is described by Texas Government Code section 508.149(a).
