Answer: No. Once parole is granted, it takes a while for all inmates to be released.
There is an administrative process where the Parole Division issues orders to the TDCJ Division and that has to flow from Huntsville to Austin back to Huntsville and back to the unit the inmate is on. There may be certain condition the inmate is tasked with by the Board before he or she is released. For instance, oftentimes the Board will say they will release an inmate after he or she has completed a six (6) month drug or alcohol course. That is sometimes known as an FI-5. You can see that on the TDCJ website. Other times, they will order that the inmate be released as quickly as possible.
