Ex parte Geiken

In Ex parte Geiken, 28 S.W.3d 553 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000) the Court held that an inmate is entitled to a meaningful opportunity to be heard by the Board before it makes a decision concerning his release. Meaningful opportunity to be heard means that the Board must provide an inmate with prior notice that the inmate is to be considered for mandatory supervision release so that the inmate may then make use of his ability to tender to the Board, or have tendered on his behalf, information in support of release.
