CURRENT CLIENT EXPUNCTIONS & INSTRUCTIONS

If you've received a link to this page from your Lawyer, then Congratulations -- your case was Dismissed. A copy (or the original) Order of Dismissal will be mailed to you.

Expunctions & Clearing Your Record. Because the case ended in a Dismissal, you are eligable for an Expunction. This means you're entitled under Texas Law to seek destruction of your records pertaining to the citation/ticket, arrest, and subsequent court case.  

For more information on Expunctions, please check out: Expunction Info or Expunction Process on our website. We are also working on launching a new Expunction Lawyer website that deals primarily with Clearing your Criminal Record.  The test site can be found at: www.expunction-lawyer.com.

When can you file an Expunction? An Expunction is typically available when the Statute of limitations has run, which is basically a waiting period that begins on the day of the offense.  Misdemeanors (A/B) have a two year waiting statute of limitations.  If you were only charged with a Class C Misdemeanor, please call us, as the new laws that took effect this year have complicated the wait times.

For example, if your offense was committed on January 1, 2010, and the case is later dismissed, you would be eligable to have the offense Expuncged on January 1, 2012.  There are a few exceptions, and offenses more serious than Misdemeanors can have longer waiting peroids.  

When the time is right, we would be happy to discuss an Expunction with you. If you prefer, we can offer a quote now, and then email out a reminder when you're eligable!
