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. To learn more or for help with an expunction case, contact Brazos County expunction lawyers Philip C. Banks and Amy A. Banks at(979)822-8533 today to take control of your future.

You need to take action to keep your criminal record clear. The Texas expungement law allows individuals to pursue expungement for any of the following:

  • Arrests that did not lead to a guilty ruling
  • Those convicted of Class C Misdemeanors if he or she receives deferred adjudication and fully completes community service

In cases where the defendant was found guilty of any offense besides a Class C Misdemeanor, he or she cannot pursue expungement. Instead, they may qualify for non-disclosure. 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.

Do not let your reputation or prospects suffer because of your criminal record. Contact Banks & Banks today by calling (979) 822-8533.
