Clemency is a way in which someone can ask for relief from the burden of their criminal sentence or conviction from an executive authority.
For those with a state conviction, the Texas Governor has the authority to grant clemency upon the written recommendation of a majority of the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles (BPP).
Below are links to forms we've been able to locate online from the Texas Board of Pardons and Parole. All of these state applications are also available as editable Microsoft Word documents on the Texas Board of Pardon and Paroles website.
For those with a federal conviction, the U.S. President has the authority to grant clemency.
