Expunctions

Expunctions/Expungement for your Texas Criminal Record

An expunction (expungement) is an important tool people can use to clear their criminal record. Many people mistakenly believe that the court clears their criminal record when their case is dismissed, or when they are found non-guilty, however, there is still ample evidence related to their arrest on their permanent criminal record. An expunction will destroy all evidence related to your case, including public arrest records, court records, fingerprints, and computer records.

People seek the expunction (expungement) of their criminal record for a variety of reasons including:

• You can state that you were never convicted for a crime on a job application
• It improves your ability to obtain/keep professional certificates and licenses
• It will have positive affects on your credit rating and financial status

Criminal Record Sealing

Under certain circumstances, you have the right to seal your record, even after a conviction. You can petition the court (with the help of a lawyer) to seal your record after a deferred adjudication for certain cases. If successful, the order will prevent the public from viewing your criminal record related to that specific charge.
