Expungement of Criminal Records in Houston, Texas

Houston Expunge Lawyer | Expunction Attorney

Under certain circumstances, Texas law allows for the destruction, or "expunction," of criminal records. Getting a criminal record expunged involves the filing of a petition of expunction in the court that originally handled the matter.

Generally speaking, in order to be eligible for an expunction of criminal records, your criminal charges must have been dismissed, or you must have been awarded a not guilty verdict after trial. Although many people believe a successfully served deferred adjudication probation can be expunged, this is not the case (with the possible exception of certain class C misdemeanor offenses.) In this scenario, a petition for non-disclosure would be the appropriate action.

Records that are erased by an expunction order may include those of the arresting agency, the Department of Public Safety, the court of prosecution, and the prosecutor's office. After the expunction order is entered, the person can deny the occurrence of the arrest, the offense, and the existence of the expunction order.

Being charged with a crime can be a frightening experience. Let the guidance of a qualified Houston defense attorney see you through the complex and potentially overwhelming legal process that lies ahead.
