Billie Sol Estes Seeks Second Parole Bid
Billie Sol Estes, once famed as an "outstanding young man," is pursuing a second parole bid from the Federal Correctional Institute at La Tuna Texas after serving about a year of his 15 year sentence for mail fraud and conspiracy. Board review will proceed without Estes appearing in person, his case aided by a parole report and representation by his attorney. Estes rose to wealth through fertilizer tanks and financial schemes before his arrest in 1962, a fall that left him with a $24 million impact on farmers and lenders in West Texas.
