Expungement Services in Denton County

If having a criminal record is adversely affecting your life, it is imperative that you speak with our Denton & Collin County expungement lawyers at the Law Offices of Tim Powers about criminal record expungement. Our defense attorneys can discuss your criminal record with you and explain the options available to you. We are well versed in expunction matters, and we have the skill, experience, and knowledge necessary to help you move on with your life in a positive manner.

An expungement means that all records related to a particular arrest are deleted or destroyed. If your criminal record is expunged in Denton or Collin County and you are later arrested, no law enforcement agency or government entity should be able to find any records relating to the old arrest which resulted in a dismissal or acquittal.

Ask yourself these questions to see if you can get an expungement:

Have You Been Found Not Guilty? Discover Your Eligibility! If your answer is no, then you cannot get an expungement. If your answer is yes, you may be eligible to apply for your expungement.

Were You Convicted of Another Offense from the Same Incident? If your answer is yes, then you cannot get your arrest record expunged. If your answer is no, then read on.

Was Your Case Dismissed? Understand Your Options! If your answer is yes, then please answer this question: Do you have any felony convictions within the 5 years before the arrest that led to you being accused of a misdemeanor? If yes, you can't get an expungement. If no, then please answer the next questions.

How Long Has It Been Since Your Misdemeanor? If your answer is two years or less, you will have to wait until two years and one day have passed. If your answer is at least two years and one day, then you can apply for an expungement.

If you were charged with a felony, but the prosecutor dismissed the case against you, then please call our Denton & Collin County expunction lawyers with the answers to these 5 questions, and we can explain further:

Was the charge for murder, manslaughter, sexual assault of a child or aggravated sexual assault, continuous sexual abuse of a young child, indecency with a child, or leaving the scene of an accident that resulted in the death of a person?

Were you charged with theft of any estate when you were the executor, administrator, guardian, or trustee; theft by a public servant of government property; forgery or passing forged instruments (writings); first-degree felony injury to an elderly or disabled individual; sexual assault other than of a child; or arson?

Were you charged with misapplication of fiduciary property or property of a financial institution; securing execution of a document by deception (oftentimes that is welfare fraud); any violations of the tax code; credit or debit card abuse; false statement to obtain property or credit (oftentimes that is lying to a pawn shop employee by saying something is yours when you pawn it); or fraudulent use or possession of identifying information (identity theft); or money laundering?

Were you charged with robbery; felony theft (at least $1500 or more); kidnapping; burglary; felony injury to an elderly or disabled individual that was not a first-degree felony; abandoning or endangering a child; or insurance fraud?

Were you charged with employing, authorizing, or inducing a sexual performance of a child; aggravated kidnapping with intent to violate or abuse sexually; burglary of a habitation with intent to commit sexual assault; aggravated sexual assault; or continuous sexual abuse of a child?

Occasionally, someone is able to prove that the indictment or information (the piece of paper that charged you with a crime) was dismissed because of a mistake or some reason indicating the absence of probable cause at the time of the dismissal. These are evaluated on a case-by-case basis by the court. Our Collin County expungement attorneys can help guide you through this process.

Understanding Expungement vs. Order of Non-Disclosure in Texas

With an order of non-disclosure , the record exists; it's just that the clerk of court and other agencies are under an order not to disclose this record with certain exceptions. One exception would be that you are applying for a job with the government, say as a law enforcement agent. As you can imagine, the government would be interested in knowing whether you have been on probation or whether you have been charged.

Having your criminal record cleared through criminal record expungement in Texas is the first step in moving beyond your past, but the process can be challenging and complicated. Our Denton and Collin County expungement lawyers can discuss this matter with you during a complimentary case evaluation and explain your rights and options. We look forward to helping you move towards a positive future, and guiding you to expungement.
