Have your Criminal Record Sealed
Non-disclosure refers to having your criminal record sealed in Texas so that the public cannot access the sealed information as part of routine background checks. Even if you do not qualify for a full expunction, non-disclosure can improve your life in many important ways, and it is always worth it to determine whether you might qualify. Speak with Gilbert G. Garcia, a Texas non-disclosure attorney as soon as possible to learn more about this option.
Non-Disclosure after Deferred Adjudication or Conviction
If you received deferred adjudication and had your charges dismissed by the court, you might qualify to have your charges sealed from your record. Deferred adjudication means that a judge gave you the chance to complete probation and other conditions before entering a final judgment on your case. If you complete your community supervision, your charges can be dismissed, this is the type of dismissal that qualifies you for an Order of Non-Disclosure.
Texas expanded its laws to open the door for non-disclosure to people who were convicted of certain offenses. This is important because a conviction can have a more detrimental effect on your record than charges with no conviction. Those who might qualify for non-disclosure might include those convicted of a first-time DWI and other non-violent misdemeanor offenses. Offenses not eligible include multiple DWIs, sex offenses, violent acts, or domestic violence.
