Texas Department of Criminal Justice Organizational Structure
The Texas Board of Criminal Justice (TBCJ) has nine non-salaried members who are appointed by the governor for staggered six-year terms. Tasked with governing the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), the TBCJ develops and implements policies that guide TDCJ operations. The TBCJ also serves as the school board of trustees for the Windham School District.
Appointed by the TBCJ, the executive director is responsible for the day-to-day administration and operation of the TDCJ, which consists of the following divisions: Administrative Review and Risk Management; Business and Finance; Chaplaincy and Volunteer Services; Classification and Inmate Transportation; Community Justice Assistance; Correctional Institutions; Facilities; Health Services; Human Resources; Information Technology; Manufacturing, Agribusiness and Logistics; Parole; Rehabilitation and Reentry; Training and Leader Development; and Victim Services.
Independent Office of Inmate Counsel, Office of the Independent Auditor, Office of the Independent Ombudsman, Office of the Inspector General, and Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) Ombudsman report directly to the TBCJ.
Among the divisions of the TDCJ, Correctional Institutions, Community Justice Assistance, and Parole are involved in the everyday confinement and supervision of convicted felons; however, the actual supervision of probationers is the responsibility of local community supervision and corrections departments. Victim Services coordinates a central mechanism for crime victims to participate in the criminal justice process. The remaining divisions support the overall operation of the TDCJ.
