A Texas expunction attorney understands that nobody is perfect, and everybody makes mistakes once in a while. However, there are times when an error in judgment results in criminal charges. These legal charges may lead to conviction and jail time. But what if there was a way to have your record sealed so that the general public could not see it?
This article will give you information on expunctions, nondisclosure orders, and sealing of records in Texas and whether or not you are eligible for them.
An expunction is a court-ordered process that destroys all your arrest and criminal charges records. It is as if the arrest never happened. The court will order the law enforcement agencies involved in your arrest to destroy their records. Also, the court will issue an order to the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) to expunge your criminal history.
You are legally allowed to say that you have never been arrested or charged with a crime after the deletion of your records. But this comes with some exceptions. You cannot lie about your expunged record on a job or housing application if the expunction is for a felony charge.
