Non-Disclosure (Sealing)

An arrest on your record can have devastating effects on future employment, financing, and living arrangements.  Even if you have completed a deferred adjudication probation and do not have a final criminal conviction on your record, a criminal case and arrest still show up on criminal background checks.  

Upon successful completion of a deferred adjudication probation, you may be entitled to petition the court to seal the records concerning your arrest and probation.  Certain offenses do not qualify for non-disclosure.  Other offenses require a waiting period of two to five years.

It is within the trial court's discretion to grant or deny a petition for non-disclosure.  Should the court grant your petition, all records of your arrest and prosecution become non-public records.
