Expungement Law
The Texas expunction procedure allows you to expunge an arrest that did not lead to a conviction or community supervision. The release, dissemination or use of expunged records by any agency is prohibited “for any purpose.” Section 55.03 specifies that unless being questioned under oath in court, you may deny the occurrence of the arrest and expunction order for all purposes— including when applying for government and law enforcement jobs. This means a fresh start can be just weeks ahead.
