1 Answer from Attorneys
If you were placed on a straight probation, there is nothing you can do to clear your record regardless of whether you were revoked or not, short of seeking relief from the governor.
If you were placed on a deferred adjudication type of probation, and were then formally adjudicated, then that would be considered a conviction and there is nothing you can really do to clear your record, short of requesting relief from the governor.
Clearing someone's record normally includes a petition for nondisclosure or a request for an expunction.
Expunction is generally limited to situations where charges are dismissed or a defendant is found not guilty at trial.
Non-disclosure is generally limited to situations where a defendant has successfully completed Deferred Adjudication.
