Expunctions and Petitions for Nondisclosure
If you have successfully completed a deferred adjudication and have maintained a clean criminal record since that time, you may be eligible to have your record sealed. This procedure seals the record of the deferred adjudication from the general public on background checks and other inquiries.
These cases require a formal request for a Petition for Non-Disclosure to be filed with the court. The court will hold a hearing during which the court will determine, at its own discretion, whether to approve the request. An experienced lawyer can help you through this process and improve your chances of success.
Similarly, if you have had a criminal case dismissed against you, you may be eligible for a complete expunction of that record. This procedure too requires the filing of a formal request with the court. An experienced lawyer can help you through both of these processes and improve your chances of success.
