“I am working as swiftly as Texas law allows regarding the pardon of Sgt. Perry,” the Republican governor said in a tweet after the conviction.

Abbott moves super-slow on everything (one of the problems of having a paraplegic in the governor's office). Don't expect a pardon for Perry anytime soon.

As I understand it Abbot cannot act until the board of pardons and paroles sends him something.

Per Texas law, the governor can only order Perry’s release with the board’s approval. It is currently reviewing the case. It’s not clear when the parole board will reach a decision.
