Erasing criminal records in Houston

Expunction refers to dismissed cases. If your case was dismissed for lack of evidence or after the completion of a pretrial diversion, you may be eligible for expunction. Expunction will allow you to deny the arrest ever occurred and results in destroying of the records of the case.

At the Law Office of Matt Tyson PLLC, we believe that it is important to educate our clients about their rights and the law, find the right approach for their particular case, and to be at their disposal from the initial consultation to the resolution of their case.

Expunction also applies to completed deferred adjudications for Class C misdemeanors.

Non-Disclosure

Non-disclosure usually applies to completed deferred adjudication probations on Class A and Class B misdemeanors along with felonies. Non-disclosure is not as strong as expunction but still useful. Criminal records that are non-disclosed are available for viewing for some entities with a public interest.

However, if your record is non-disclosed, you can deny the arrest on a job or housing application in most instances.

In one of the biggest changes to criminal law in the last few years, non-disclosure now applies to some misdemeanor jail sentences and regular probations. Thus, if you were charged with a misdemeanor after September 1, 2015, and received a jail sentence or regular “straight”probation, you might be able to non-disclose your case.

Unfortunately, jail sentences, “credit for time served” sentences, and straight probation sentences for arrests before September 1, 2015, are not eligible for nondisclosure.
