Getting Your Criminal Record Sealed, Erased or Expunged
Having a criminal record can adversely affect your life for years, affecting job opportunities, insurance costs, housing and your standing in society in general. Expungement offers you the opportunity to have these criminal records sealed or erased, basically expunging them from your record. Doing so allows you to get on with your life without worrying further about the damage to your reputation from circumstances you suffered in the past.

Qualifications for Expungement
When arrested or charged with a crime, a public record is created in Texas, with the report being sent to the Texas Crime Information Center. This record can be accessed by anyone conducting a background check on you, such as prospective landlords, employers and schools. Whether you were convicted or not, these records remain on your history. In order to qualify for expungement, you must meet certain criteria regarding your past criminal history. This includes:
- Acquitted of the charges
- Conviction later reversed
- Pardoned or paroled by the Governor or President
- Case dismissed
- Resolved with a deferred disposition
With the help of our law firm, we can determine if you are eligible for expungement and take the appropriate legal steps to free you from the past. Having your records sealed or erased will allow you to apply for housing, jobs or student loans without worrying about having to report any prior record. Opportunities you were denied will open up for you, allowing you to improve your conditions in life.
