A past arrest or criminal case can continue to affect your life long after the case is over. Even when charges are dismissed or reduced, a criminal record may appear in background checks and impact employment, housing, and other opportunities.

Texas law allows certain individuals to clear or seal criminal records through legal processes known as expunctions and orders of nondisclosure. These options may help reduce the long-term impact of an arrest or criminal case.

Francino Law assists clients in Denton and throughout Denton County, Texas who are seeking to clear or limit access to their criminal records.

You may be eligible for an expunction if:

• Your case was dismissed

• You were found not guilty at trial

• You were arrested but never formally charged

• You completed certain pre-trial diversion programs

Eligibility depends on the circumstances of the case and the waiting periods required by Texas law.

Nondisclosure may be available for individuals who:

• Successfully completed deferred adjudication

• Meet specific waiting period requirements under Texas law

Not all offenses qualify for nondisclosure, and eligibility depends on the facts of the case.
