Expunctions

Criminal Record Expunction Attorney in Fort Worth Texas

Expunction—also called expungement—refers to the process of clearing your criminal record of an arrest, charge or conviction. Clearing your record can make a big difference in your life.

Background checks can affect your ability to find a job or a place to live. An old mistake can haunt you for years. At The Carreras Law Group, P.C., a Fort Worth criminal defense attorney can help you with expunction and non-disclosure order issues.

Expunction or Non-Disclosure

When the judge signs your order for expunction, you will have the right to have your criminal record cleared. A background search will turn up no record of the incident, not even a note that the record has been cleared. You won’t have to tell anyone about your conviction when applying for a job, license or loan. It will be like it never happened.

In some cases where expunction is not available, Carreras Law Group, P.C. may be able to pursue an order for nondisclosure for you. While an expunction will clear your record, an order for nondisclosure will limit who can access your records. After an order for nondisclosure, private companies will not be able to see your record, but certain public entities will still have access.

Can My Record Be Cleared?

Texas law limits the things that you can seek to remove from your permanent record:

An arrest for a crime that was not charged can be expunged.
If a grand jury no billed the charges against you, you can qualify for expunction.
Dismissals can often be expunged, though a certain amount of time may have to pass before you are eligible. The same is true in situations involving deferred adjudication.
In addition, many cases involving juvenile offenses can be expunged.

The good news is that if you are eligible, the process is relatively painless for you. Once you choose Carreras Law Group to help you with your expunction, the firm does the rest. Attorney Kara Carreras and her support staff take care of all the paperwork attend the hearing, keep you informed, and let you know about any developments. In 45 to 60 days, generally, the firm will have the court’s answer for you.
