What's the difference between an expunction and a nondisclosure?

An expunction destroys the records completely. A nondisclosure seals them from the public, though police, courts, and some licensing agencies can still see them.

My case was dismissed. Why is it still on my record?

A dismissal ends the case, but the arrest record stays in public databases unless you get an expunction.

I got deferred adjudication. Was I convicted?

In Texas, a completed deferred adjudication is generally not a conviction, but it still shows up on background checks. A nondisclosure is usually how you seal it.

How long does it take?

Most cases take 3 to 6 months from filing to signed order, depending on the court.

Do I have to go to court?

Usually not. We handle the hearing for you.

Some first-time DWI convictions can qualify for nondisclosure after a waiting period, depending on the facts. Call us and we will check your case.

An Old Record Can Still Cost You

A dismissed charge, an old arrest, or a deferred adjudication you finished years ago can still show up on background checks. Employers, landlords, schools, and licensing boards see it — even when you were never convicted.

Texas law gives many people a way to remove or seal these records. Most people never use it because they don't know they qualify.
