Texas Criminal Record Expungement Lawyers
Whether you have been found not guilty of a crime, had your case dismissed or resolved due to deferred disposition, your legal troubles are not over. Records of an arrest, criminal charges and court proceedings are still on file in Texas and possibly also in national criminal information databases.
Employers, lenders, landlords, schools and others performing background checks have access to this information. Expunction or non-disclosure of your criminal record is possible under certain circumstances. The Texas law firm of Hines, Ranc & Holub can help. Contact us to discuss your needs.
Expunction
If a criminal case is dismissed, or not guilty verdict is reached at a trial, all public records related the case can be destroyed by filing a Petition for Expunction. While the process can take several months, our criminal defense attorneys can help determine if you are eligible. Our firm also handles sex offender deregistration for those convicted of sex crimes.
Non-Disclosure
For those who are not eligible for expunction, our firm may still be able to help you prevent the disclosure of a criminal record. Even if filing a Petition for Non-Disclosure will not prevent certain agencies from obtaining access, it can prohibit the release of information to the general public.
In misdemeanor cases we can begin the non-disclosure process immediately. However long waits, of two or more years, are typical. The first step is to discuss your situation with our attorneys who can help determine the best course of action.
