The Texas expunction procedure (Code of Criminal Procedure chapter 55) allows you to expunge an arrest that did not lead to a conviction or community supervision or a class C misdemeanor that resulted in community supervision (deferred adjudication). If you were convicted, you may be eligible to have your conviction set aside. The release, dissemination or use of expunged records by any agency is prohibited "for any purpose." Section 55.03 specifies that unless being questioned under oath in court, you may deny the occurrence of the arrest and expunction order for all purposes— including when applying for government and law enforcement jobs. This means a fresh start can be just weeks ahead.
If you were arrested in Texas, you are likely eligible to have your record expunged if you meet the following criteria:
Misdemeanors:
You’ve been released; and
Charge is no longer pending; and
No resulting final conviction or community service (probation), unless the charge was for a class C Misdemeanor; and
You don’t have a felony conviction 5 years prior to your arrest.
It has been two years since the arrest
Felonies:
You meet all requirements listed above under misdemeanors; and
A case was not filed with the court or the case was dismissed before the trial; and
Presentment made because of mistake, false information, or other reason indicating lack of probably cause at time of dismissal to believe person committed offence or because the indictment or information was void.
If you were pardoned, acquitted after trail, or acquitted by the Court of Criminal Appeals, you are probably also eligible for expunction.
