In Harris County, it generally takes between 30 and 45 days.
First, I draft and file your petition for nondisclosure. Once it’s filed, the court sets it for a hearing between two to four weeks later. After the hearing (which is usually brief and informal), the judge grants the petition and signs an order of nondisclosure. The order is then sent to all of the relevant agencies (such as the police department, district attorney’s office, clerk’s office, DPS, etc.) to seal your records. Because there are a lot of cases that get nondisclosures granted, it takes a few more weeks after the order is signed for all the agencies to follow through and seal everything.
