Though he is occasionally up for parole, he will never get it.
On a side note, if anyone would like a fascinating read about both this case and what Houston was like in the 50s~70s, Jack Olson wrote The Man with the Candy several years back. Describes an atmosphere in Houston that was towards the end of the "big small town" culture of police and government, and a socioeconomic geographical layout of the city that you will have a hard time believing if you moved to Houston in the past 20 years.
An excellent piece of both Houston history and true crime.
