Clearing your Record in Texas

Criminal Charges Can Follow You for the Rest of Your Life

If you are charged with an offense and are subsequently acquitted, or if you are never indicted but were arrested, then you will continue to have an arrest record on your criminal record unless it is expunged. This can influence a number of things, including future prosecutions and future employment.

If you are placed on deferred adjudication for an offense and successfully complete your probation, then even though there is technically no conviction on your record, your arrest record can still create problems in the future.

There is something you can do. Expunction or Nondisclosure may be the answer for you to clean up your arrest record. At Pelley Law Office, L.L.P., our attorneys have extensive experience helping people minimize the long-term effects of an arrest in North Texas.

How Do Expunctions and Nondisclosures Work?

If you were arrested for a Class C misdemeanor (drug paraphernalia possession, for example) and you obtained and completed deferred adjudication, were acquitted at trial or the charges against you were eventually dismissed, you can have your criminal record expunged. After expunction, the arrest would be removed from your record.

In cases in which it is impossible to obtain an expunction, it may still be possible to file a petition for non-disclosure. If granted, your arrest record will be sealed.

If you want to file a petition to request an Order from the judge that will help you remove yourself from the offense, we would be happy to assist you in doing so if you are eligible.

Since this arrest record will be on your record until you go to the grave unless you do something about it, we encourage you to come in and find out about your eligibility and the timing of the petition at the free office consultation.

Just a brief note to tell you how appreciative I am of how effective you were in my Bankruptcy Proceedings. I was never worried because I knew I was being represented by the best. Thank you!

I was faced with a first degree felony, which meant 5-99 years behind bars. It was terrifying. You are not only a great attorney but a very honest man with integrity...you saved my life.

From the first moment I met Mr. Pelley, he made me feel at ease. I was always updated, whether via mail or phone call of court dates and information concerning my case. He did a remarkable job and went above and beyond all my expectations. I wouldn't have to think twice about recommending Mr. Pelley to represent any of my family members or closest friends.
