Verify Choice Moore Unit Discharges

To find someone released from Choice Moore Unit, follow the Texas Department of Criminal Justice record chain. Choice Moore is a state prison, not part of the Fannin County jail system. Departure from the unit can reflect parole, mandatory supervision, sentence discharge, or a move to another institution. A projected date and a favorable parole decision are earlier stages, not proof of physical release. Match the person, unit, and state identifier, then use TDCJ and BPP status channels to establish the actual event and any continued supervision.

Choice Moore Unit Departures

Choice Moore Unit is a TDCJ Correctional Institutions Division prison for men. The controlling record comes from TDCJ, even when the conviction originated in Fannin County. The Fannin County Sheriff cannot certify the end of a state sentence or a parole release from Moore.

A unit departure can lead to the community under parole or mandatory supervision, to the end of the sentence through flat discharge, or to another prison through transfer. Parole and mandatory supervision both leave the person under TDCJ authority. Flat discharge ends the sentence. Transfer means incarceration continues elsewhere.

Important: “No longer at Choice Moore Unit” establishes neither community release nor the end of TDCJ custody.

The actual release or movement record should name the event, date, and later status. If another agency receives the person, continue with that custodian before using broader wording.


Lookup Choice Moore Unit Release

Begin at the official TDCJ Online Inmate Search. A TDCJ number or SID is the best key. If neither is known, use the exact name and identifying details, then match date of birth, county and court, offense, and facility.

  1. Search by TDCJ number, SID, or exact identifying information.
  2. Verify that the result identifies Choice Moore Unit or the expected later facility.
  3. Separate the Projected Release Date from an actual release date.
  4. Use the BPP review line for a pending parole decision and the post-approval line for processing.
  5. Obtain the TDCJ release, discharge, or movement record for final confirmation.

TDCJ’s search is designed around people in custody or current supervision. It is not a complete permanent archive of all people whose sentences ended. A missing result can also mean another facility or an out-of-scope record. Do not convert absence into discharge.

The Fannin County released inmates home page helps identify the correct system when the last reliable record names only Bonham or Fannin County.


Choice Moore Release Contact

The TDCJ directory supplies the unit address and telephone contact. Use this contact for facility-specific questions. Statewide inmate status, parole processing, and public records have their own TDCJ and BPP channels.

Choice Moore Unit
1700 North FM 87
Bonham, TX 75418
Phone: 903-583-4464 ext. 079
Agency: Texas Department of Criminal Justice

TDCJ’s published locator numbers are 936-295-6371 and 800-535-0283. Have the TDCJ or SID number ready. Without one, the exact date of birth is important. The published phone hours for inmate-information service are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Call 844-512-0461 for BPP pre-vote review status. After an approval, call 512-406-5202 for parole-release processing status. The distinction matters because approval can carry conditions or programming and can precede physical departure.


Choice Moore Release Profile

The official Choice Moore Unit directory identifies a male TDCJ prison in Bonham. Moore opened in May 1995 and is co-located on acreage with Buster Cole Unit. Those facts locate the prison within the state system; they do not describe current custody for any named person.

1,224Official capacity

The directory should be checked for current unit details. Its institutional facts identify the correct custodian, while an individual TDCJ result and release record establish a named person’s status.


Choice Moore Projected Release

TDCJ uses the exact field label “Projected Release Date.” It is a forecast tied to the sentence, offense and offense date, applicable credits, mandatory-supervision eligibility, and BPP action. It can change after a record correction, new sentence or detainer, credit change, classification action, or later review.

For some eligible cases, the date reflects when mandatory supervision may occur if parole has not occurred. For other cases, including when mandatory supervision is denied or legally unavailable, it may represent the discharge or maximum-expiration point. None of those possibilities turns a future display into proof of release.

Save a dated copy of the result, then check the correct telephone stage and request the actual record. When the search is inconclusive, email pia@tdcj.texas.gov with the full name and seven-digit TDCJ number. If unknown, provide exact date of birth or approximate age and county of conviction. TDCJ can supply public location, offense, incarceration history, county and court, and projected-date information within its stated scope.


Choice Moore Discharge Proof

A completed Moore exit should be described with the wording in the TDCJ record. Ask whether the event was parole, mandatory supervision, flat discharge, unit transfer, or delivery to another authority. Each carries a different meaning.

Record or statusWhat it provesWhat it does not prove
Projected Release DateTDCJ’s current forecastThat release has occurred
Favorable BPP voteDecision and stated conditionsPhysical departure time
New TDCJ unitContinued state custody at another locationCommunity release
Release or discharge recordActual event and type within TDCJAbsence of all later custody unless checked

Use the TDCJ open-records process for a durable public record. Quote any BPP vote code as displayed and consult the official explanation rather than translating every favorable decision into “released.”


Separate Bonham Release Records

Choice Moore’s location makes wrong-system searches easy. Moore is at 1700 North FM 87 and has a 1,224-person capacity. Cole is a 900-person TDCJ unit at 3801 Silo Road. Fannin County Jail, a LaSalle-operated county facility, is at 2389 Silo Road and had a designed capacity of 664 in its 2025 PREA audit.

A record that mentions “Bonham” must be matched to the full facility and agency. County jail booking numbers belong to the local jail path. TDCJ and SID numbers belong to the state path. A transfer from the jail to Moore is a county custody exit followed by state admission, not a release into the community.

Moore and Cole opened in the same year and share acreage, but they remain distinct units. A move between them is also a transfer. Verify the new location through TDCJ and request the movement record when the precise sequence matters.


Fannin Mixed Custody Context

Fannin County Jail has documented historical USMS and ICE-related contract records. The county’s 2018 operating RFP and an older federal agreement help explain why a jail exit might lead to another authority. They do not establish a present population at Moore or turn Moore into a federal or immigration facility.

Choice Moore remains a TDCJ prison. If its release record identifies another custodian, use that custodian’s record next. BOP handles federal imprisonment, while USMS commonly controls federal pretrial prisoners and has no public inmate locator. ICE uses a separate detainee locator with scope and timing limits.

The narrow wording is the accurate wording. State that TDCJ recorded discharge, parole release, mandatory supervision, or transfer on the given date. Do not say the person is free unless plausible receiving-custody paths have also been checked.


Choice Moore Post-Release Status

A person released from Moore on parole or mandatory supervision has left prison but remains under the TDCJ Parole Division. County adult probation is a separate system. Residence or a Fannin conviction does not move a TDCJ parole case into Fannin Adult Probation.

Parole
Conditional release from prison into TDCJ supervision following BPP action and processing.
Mandatory supervision
Release under state supervision governed by statutory eligibility and, for many cases, BPP review.
Probation
Community supervision ordered through a court, not a release type from Moore.
Discharge
The documented end of the sentence rather than continued parole authority.

The specific assigned parole office should be verified through the current TDCJ directory. Geographic proximity alone does not prove which district office serves a person.


Resolve Moore Release Conflicts

Create a timeline with the agency, unit, identifier, check time, and exact displayed language. Label every date as projected, reviewed, approved, transferred, released, or discharged. This prevents separate stages from being collapsed into one event.

A favorable vote followed by later processing is consistent. A Moore departure and later Cole location indicate continued TDCJ custody. If the result disappears, use TDCJ’s published warning, telephone channels, and record request instead of declaring discharge.

Where a county court record appears, use it for conviction and judicial events. TDCJ still controls the state-prison release record. If two official sources remain inconsistent, report the conflict and ask the custodians to reconcile it.
