Expunction & Non-Disclosure

Texas Criminal Record Expunction Attorney

A conviction or arrest on a criminal charge can prevent you from getting certain jobs. It can be an obstacle to renting an apartment. Knowing that someone, somewhere may learn of your criminal history can be a nagging source of shame or embarrassment.

Fortunately, the law holds a solution for people in certain circumstances.

If your case resulted in a not guilty verdict, a dismissal of the charge, or if the grand jury failed to indict, it may be possible to obtain an expunction of the criminal record. This involves the total removal and destruction of the official records of the matter. Deferred misdemeanor charges may also be eligible for expunction.

If your case did result in a conviction, it may still be possible to seal the record by filing a successful petition for non-disclosure. This prevents all but police and court officials from learning about the conviction and details about your case. Background checks performed by potential employers, lenders, and others would not reveal any evidence of the conviction. On a job application, you could truthfully answer "No" to the question "Have you ever been convicted of a crime?"
