Expunge Record After Deferred Adjudication Probation Completion
I recently successfully completed deferred adjudication probation for Felony charge ''possession controlled substance''. Background check still reveals my charge. Will this go away or is an expunction even an option?

Re: Expunge Record After Deferred Adjudication Probation Completion
An expunction will never be an option for you. However, a new law beginning September 1st says that in ten years you will be eligible for a Petition For Non-Disclosure. If you get this done in ten years, the court will order the State of Texas to not disclose to any third party vendors like publicdata.com you criminal history.
