Texas Criminal Record Expungement Attorney
Expungement is a civil lawsuit that seeks to clear your record of all state criminal charges. If a judge grants expungements, any agency responsible for maintaining criminal records on a person will be ordered to destroy the record. Your record can be expunged only under certain conditions, including:
- A jury returned a verdict of not guilty at a trial
- Your case was dismissed by a judge prior to going to trial
- The prosecution drops charges prior to going to trial
- You are able to overturn a conviction by successful appeal
Expungement is more than non-disclosure. Under a non-disclosure order, the criminal charges and conviction remain on your record, but will not be made available to the general public.
