Expunctions
An expunction is a process that permits arrests and criminal charges to be completely removed from your record. There are a few different ways a person may qualify for an expunction. The most common example is when criminal charges are dropped or dismissed due to lack of evidence. There is a common misconception that a defendant’s record would be clean if charges were dismissed against them, however this is not true. When a person is arrested that arrest will show up on their record whether or not the case has been dismissed. In order to have the arrest removed they must file for an expunction. Others who may qualify for expunctions include people who were found “not guilty” at trial or people who successfully completed deferred adjudication community supervision for a Class C misdemeanor.

Orders of Non-Disclosure
A person who may not qualify for an expunction in some instances may qualify for an Order of Non-Disclosure. If you have successfully completed Deferred Adjudication for a misdemeanor or felony, you may be eligible for an Order of Non-Disclosure. An Order of Non-Disclosure is document that a judge signs, ordering DPS and all other public agencies to no longer release information about the deferred adjudication punishment that you have completed.
