Expunctions and Nondisclosure Order

In Texas, some criminal offenses may be removed (expunged) or sealed (by a nondisclosure order) from your criminal record. For instance, if you’ve been acquitted of an offense or your case has been dismissed, you may qualify for an expunction. Similarly, certain offenses that resulted in a formal resolution, such as community supervision (AKA deferred adjudication), may qualify for a nondisclosure order sealing the case from public record.
