Your criminal record is public information and can be easily accessed by millions via the Internet. This information can affect your ability to gain meaningful employment, possess a firearm, or even rent an apartment. Our Houston expunction lawyers have experience with the legal processes that are used to clear criminal records:

• Expunction (also known as expungement) is the process through which your criminal record is completely erased or a particular charge is removed from the record.  A misdemeanor charge can be expunged if you were found not guilty, or the charges were dismissed.  Felonies can also be expunged in certain instances. Expunction is the only way to have these fully erased from your record for all employment and governmental purposes.

• Petitions for non-disclosure may be filed if you have completed a deferred adjudication probation. Petitions for non-disclosure ask the court to seal your record from the public. This option is not as complete as an expunction, because the criminal record remains intact for government purposes.

In order to know if you qualify for expunction or a non-disclosure order, it is necessary to speak with an experienced attorney. If you would like to have an arrest or criminal charges removed from your record, contact our Houston TX criminal defense and expunction law firm for a free initial consultation.
