Unfortunately, recent appellate cases have held that the trial court has an extremely short amount of time in which this relief can be given to defendants. That coupled with the discretion that a judge possesses to grant or deny such a request has made the chances of success extremely low. Therefore, we are no longer offering this service. Alternatively, we recommend our pardon service.

Texas law allows most people who were convicted of a crime that have successfully completed probation within the past 30 days or about to complete their sentence to have their conviction set aside. This means that you are no longer considered convicted of the crime and your firearm rights can be restored. While the court record or arrest record may still appear on some background checks, once the conviction is set aside it will appear as a dismissed case with no finding of guilt.

The judge looks at certain factors to determine if you are rehabilitated, and the judge will then determine if it is in the interest of justice to have your case dismissed. You can read more about the factors that the judge considers in the Frequently Asked Questions section.
