Re: can i get a class c removed

Get a copy of your file and consult with a criminal defense lawyer to determine if you can get the charge expunged. If not, it can probably be subject to an order of nondisclosure. A nondisclosure order, however, would not shield the charge from the nursing board.

Re: can i get a class c removed

Based on what you have written and the disposition of your prior criminal case, you may qualify for an expunction. As for a non-disclosure petition, this will only shield your prior criminal records from the general public. Pursuant to a 2007 amendment of Chpt 411.081 of the Texas Gov't Code, the Texas Board of Nursing is no longer restricted from viewing a criminal record. You should really discuss your case and the potential avenues with a local crimnal defense law firm. If my local criminal defense law firm can assist you with this legal issue or any other legal matter, please contact my paralegal Tina ([email protected]) to arrange for an initial consultation.
