Expunction Overview

Have you been previously charged with a crime and the case was either NO-BILLED by a Grand Jury, or the case was dismissed, or a jury found you NOT-GUILTY? If so, in most cases you have a right to have your criminal record expunged (Erased). Even though you were not found guilty in your criminal case, you still have an arrest record. What that means is that an employer or other person or entity will know that you were arrested for a particular crime and still a make judgment about you based on a crime you were not found guilty of.

In Texas, if your case has been dismissed, NO-BILLED by a grand jury, or you were found NO-GUILTY by a jury, you in most cases have the right to have your record expunged. The effect of an expunction will erase that fact that you were ever arrested and charged for a particular crime.

What is the difference between an Expunction and Non-Disclosure of your criminal record?

A Non-Disclosure seals the fact that you were arrested and charged with a crime, but the government and some institutions will still be able to see it.

An Expunction erases the fact that you were arrested and charged with a crime completely from your record. Once an expunction is approved, usually within 30 days, that charge or charges will be wiped completely from your record or background.

Generally you are entitled to expunction of a charge if the following has occurred:

  • Case was dismissed and the statute of limitations has passed.
  • Your charge was No-Billed by the grand jury in your county.
  • Received a Pre-trial Intervention (PTI or Diversion Program)
