Expungements Lawyer in Brazoria County

Who is Eligible for Expungement in Texas?

If you have a conviction on your criminal record those who run a background check may learn about your criminal history and deny you opportunities. An expungement makes it so that law enforcement is the only agency able to see your record, thus eliminating possible discrimination based on your criminal history.

If you have served time in state prison, were convicted of sex crimes against children, or are currently serving time/facing charges, expungement is not right for you. Expungement is not an option for everyone. This is only one method of record sealing or clearing and if we find that expungement is not right for you, we may be able to explore other legal avenues.

There are several requirements you must meet to be eligible:

• 3 years must have passed from the date of completion of probation, parole, or sentence for misdemeanor charges
• 7 years must have passed since the date of completion of probation, parole, or sentence for felony charges
• You must not have been found guilty of any other charge during those applicable years
• You have completed all of the obligations of your conviction, i.e. paid your fines or served your sentence
• That there are no pending charges against you
• That your behavior demonstrates you are not a threat to public safety
