No doubt about it, having a criminal record doesn't help you in life. In some instances, there are ways to clear your record or seal it so potential employers and others in the public cannot see it. These are called Expunctions and Non-Disclosure Orders.
Expunction: An expunction is a court order to law enforcement agencies to purge any and all records they have of a case. This includes police departments, sheriff's offices, DA's offices, DPS and the FBI. An expunction is available if you were acquitted by a trial court (found not guilty), pardoned by the Governor and in other limited circumstances.
Non-Disclosure Orders: This order is available in certain cases if you were placed on deferred adjudication for an offense, you successfully lived out the deferred adjudication and the case was dismissed.
Give me a call. I’m happy to discuss your options.
