Expunctions and Non-Disclosure of Criminal Records
Criminal convictions are not the only actions found on someone's criminal record. In fact, if an individual was simply arrested but later found not guilty either by a jury or because there was not enough evidence to go to trial, his or her record can still be tarnished. If this happens, it can damage a person's reputation and possibly affect his or her ability to obtain employment. If this happens, you may consider an expungement. Expunction of certain criminal records can enable an individual to deny that they have been arrested and will prevent any agency from releasing information about such records.
Expungement cases are actually considered civil suits where the plaintiff petitions the courts to have his or her criminal record cleared.

If you were placed on deferred adjudication probation and successfully completed probation, you may be eligible for a non-disclosure in order to have your criminal record sealed.
