Expunction · Harris County
Dismissed Felony — Expunged
All arrest and court records ordered destroyed.
Expunctions & Nondisclosures
An old arrest or charge can still show up on background checks. We help eligible Texans clear or seal their records for a true fresh start.
Expunctions & Record Sealing
Even a dismissed case or an arrest with no charges can appear on background checks for jobs, apartments, professional licenses, and loans. Many people don’t realize the record follows them until an opportunity disappears.
Texas offers two main remedies. An expunction destroys the records as if the arrest never happened. An order of nondisclosure seals records from the public, including most employers. We determine which you qualify for and handle the entire process.
Eligibility depends on how your case ended, the type of offense, and your criminal history.

Generally available after an acquittal, a dismissal, an arrest that never led to charges, or a pardon.

Often available after successfully completing deferred adjudication for eligible offenses.
0 – 5 yrs
Waiting periods
Depending on the offense level, a waiting period may apply before you can file for nondisclosure.
