Where can I find a DNA lab?
Forensic Science Associates in Richmond,
CA. Ed Blakely, the owner, is one of the
pioneers of short tandem repeat
technology. They have an excellent
reputation. Many DA's offices have used
them when the state wanted a second
opinion or the DPS lab results were
"inconclusive."

Can a minor who received deferred
adjudication for an MIP get his record
expunged under 106.12 of the Alcoholic
Beverage Code (a cheaper version), or
must he use 55.02 (the more expensive
expunction)?
A successfully completed deferred is
expungable under 45.051, conviction
under 106.12 when 21, assuming not more
than one conviction. This would permit
an expunction of conviction of class A
furnishing alcohol to minor. so is a
conviction for FATM better than a
deferred for a D under 21 with no TABC
Ch106 priors? TABC 106.12: Any person
convicted of not more than one violation
of this code while a minor, on attaining
the age of 21 years, may apply to the
court in which he was convicted to have
the conviction expunged. |
