Expungement & Record Sealing Attorney in San Marcos, TX

Clear Your Criminal Record and Move Forward

A criminal record can affect job opportunities, housing, professional licenses, and even personal relationships. If you have been arrested or charged with a crime in Texas, you may qualify for expungement or record sealing (non-disclosure) to erase or restrict access to your criminal history.

At The Law Offices of Scot Courtney, we help clients navigate the Texas expungement process, ensuring that eligible records are permanently removed from public records. If expungement is not an option, we explore record sealing under Texas Government Code § 411.081, allowing certain offenses to remain hidden from employers and the public.

Are You Eligible for Expungement in Texas?

Under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 55, you may qualify for expungement if:

Your charges were dismissed or you were found not guilty.
You completed a pretrial diversion or deferred adjudication program (for certain offenses).
You were arrested but never formally charged.
You were convicted of a crime that was later overturned on appeal.

If you are not eligible for expungement, you may still qualify for an order of nondisclosure, which hides your criminal record from most employers and background checks.

The Expungement Process in Texas

The expungement process involves filing a petition in court, attending a hearing, and securing a judge’s approval. Our firm will:

Review your criminal record to determine eligibility.
File all necessary paperwork to start the process.
Advocate for you in court to ensure your record is cleared as quickly as possible.
