Expunctions & Record Sealing
A Clean Record Opens Doors
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.
Which Remedy Fits Your Case?
Eligibility depends on how your case ended, the type of offense, and your criminal history.
Expunction
Records destroyed
Generally available after an acquittal, a dismissal, an arrest that never led to charges, or a pardon.
Nondisclosure
Records sealed
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.
First DWI
Now eligible
Some first-time DWI offenses may qualify for nondisclosure after completing the sentence.
Certain offenses, including family violence and offenses requiring sex-offender registration, are not eligible for nondisclosure.
