Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida
I had some felony charges, related to the same case, sealed in 2003 in Florida and I am eligible for expungement in 2013 in Florida. Except for a specific list, Florida allows for petitioners that have had their records sealed to fail to acknowledge the record without fear of perjury or criminal charges for not acknowledging the arrest.
I am going to apply for a Real Estate Broker license in Texas and they are asking me on the background supplementation "Have you ever been convicted of a criminal offense? (Include all felonies and misdemeanors other than minor traffic tickets.)" In Florida I had adjudication withheld so it is not a conviction. Additionally, the record is sealed and does not appear on state or national record, except to those parties on the specific list.
My question is if Texas has a similar criminal record seal law that allows me to legally answer the question as no based on the record being sealed in Florida and/or the adjudication withheld of the charges in Florida?
