A past mistake shouldn’t hold you back from employment, housing, or other opportunities — and we’re here to guide you through the legal process with skill and compassion.

What Is Expungements?

Expungement (also called expunction) is a legal process that removes or seals your criminal record. Once expunged, most private entities can no longer access your record, and you can legally say you were not arrested or charged. Some agencies, like licensing boards or law enforcement, may still see sealed records, so it's best to consult with an attorney before applying for certain positions.

Who Qualifies for Expungement in Texas?

Eligibility depends on the nature of your case. You may qualify if:

  • Charges were dismissed or never filed
  • You were found not guilty or acquitted
  • It was your first or only offense
  • The offense occurred as a juvenile
  • You completed certain deferred adjudications 

Not all charges are eligible — especially violent or serious felonies — but we’ll evaluate your situation and advise you honestly.
