Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

set aside of judgement
My husband was on probation and the judge signed an order setting aside the conviction, dismissing the indictment and discharging him fro probation releasing him from all penalties and disabilities associated with associated with the judgement of conviction. The law states that except the judge will have proof of this if he has convicted of another offense. 10 years later he was convicted of another offense in no way related to the prior. Therefore, Is he still covered under this clause except that proof was made known of it to the judge? The law does not state that the defendent is released from the clause; only that proof would be know to the judge. Code of Criminal Procedure 42.20a
