Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

nondisclosure agreement

My son recently got into trouble and to make a long story short, he was ultimately charged with evading arrest (he was running across campus to his friends dorm). Anyway his lawyer has been able to get the prosecutor to get one charge expunged in a plea deal but for the evading charge the prosecutor wants a $500 fine and 1 1/2 years probation at which time the charge would be sealed. I know that this means certain institutions would still have access to this information. Would this keep him from getting a job in the future especially if he wants to be a lawyer, CPA, professor, etc.? Also would an MIP count as a probation violation?

Re: nondisclosure agreement

First, until your son pleads he is not on probation. His probation can only be revoked for crimes that he commit after being put on probation. Second, his record is not autmatically sealed. Instead, you son would be eligible to file a petiton for non-dislcosure after completing his probation. However, agencies listed under Section 411.083(b)(1),(2), or (3) could still access the disclosed record.
