Texas Criminal Record Expungement Lawyer

Criminal Record Expungement & Non-Disclosure

Being convicted of a crime can turn into a hurdle for the rest of your life. In some cases, even being charged can present difficulties when you attempt to take out a loan or mortgage, seek a job, or go to graduate school. In other words, your criminal record can follow you around for the rest of your life. But in some cases, a criminal record can be expunged or, for all practical purposes, erased.

Expunging a criminal record is a complex and difficult process. It generally takes about three months to complete the process and it requires you to prepare the Petition for Expunction and then argue your case before a judge. As you might imagine, this process is much easier with the help an experienced Texas expungement attorney. In addition, you are only eligible to expunction if you meet one or more of the following criteria:

  • You received a verdict of “Not-Guilty” through a trial
  • You were arrested but not charged with a crime (provided the charge is not pending any longer and you were not convicted of a felony within the five years before the crime you wish to expunge)
  • You were charged but your charge was dismissed by the court (provided that the statute of limitations on your crime has passed and you were not convicted of a felony within the five years before the crime you wish to expunge)
  • Your crime was pardoned by the governor of Texas
  • The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals acquitted you of your crime
  • You were charged with a crime because someone else impersonated you while committing a criminal act

Having your crime expunged does not completely erase it. For instance, if you are involved in a future criminal investigation, government agencies can access your record. But your day-to-day life will no longer be burdened by this record. You will be able to seek work, apply for loans, and go to school without having to admit to a criminal record. Though the process is difficult, an experienced Dallas criminal attorney can help you through it. If you wish to expunge your criminal record, contact the Texas attorneys at Grossman Law Offices and free yourself from the restrictions of that record.
