    My clients work directly with me, ensuring clear communication and consistent support throughout the legal process. I never pass cases off to associates or assistants.

    Sealing & Nondisclosure in Texas

    Sealing your criminal history is called “nondisclosure” in the state of Texas. When a case is nondisclosed, it is hidden from public view and will not appear on a private employer’s background check. When filling out a job or leasing application, you are legally allowed to say that you have never been arrested or charged with the nondisclosed crime.

    The records of your case are not destroyed, however, and the police, government agencies, and certain licensing agencies will still be able to see it.

    Nondisclosure is most commonly available for people who have completed deferred adjudication probation, but it is also available for some first-time misdemeanor convictions. Determining your eligibility for nondisclosure is complex, which is why it’s important to speak with an experienced nondisclosure attorney like me.

      Expunction in Texas

      Expunction, also called “expungment,” is even better than nondisclosure. It results in the destruction of all records of your criminal case, including the expunction proceeding itself. Your fingerprints, mugshot, court records, police report, and electronic criminal history are completely destroyed. This means that your record will not appear on a background check.

      As with nondisclosed cases, you can deny ever having been arrested for an expunged case on job and leasing applications.

      Generally, only dismissed or no billed cases are eligible for expunction. There is one important exception. If you were convicted of unlawful carrying of a firearm before September 1, 2021, you may be eligible to have your conviction expunged completely.

      Expunction law, like nondisclosure law, is complex. It’s best to find out if you’re eligible to have your record expunged by speaking with an experienced expunction attorney.
