If she plead guilty or was found guilty and she was not on a deferred adjudication probation, she will not be eligible to seal that from the public. However, if she did successfully complete a deferred adjudication probabtion, she can apply for a non-disclosure order which seals it from public view.

If the record is incorrect and your daughter was never charged with a felony you should see an attorney who does expunctions.
