Have you ever been placed on deferred adjudication probation or received pretrial diversion in Texas?
Have you finished the probation and thought that was the end of the matter and now find that the offense is still appearing in your criminal record or in a background check and affecting your ability to find work or change jobs?
If you have completed deferred adjudication probation you may be eligible to petition the court for an order of nondisclosure (sealing). After a hearing, the court can issue such an order prohibiting criminal justic agencies from disclosing the public criminal history record information related to the offense for which you received the deferred adjudication.
For most misdemeanors you may petition the court immediately, however, certain misdemeanors may require a two year waiting period and all eligible felonies require a five year waiting period. The statutory filing fee is currently $28.00.
