Expunction vs Non-Disclosure: Which Do You Need?

Expunction (The Gold Standard)

  • Records are DESTROYED – Like it never happened
  • You can legally deny the arrest ever occurred
  • No government agency can access records
  • Clean slate for employment and housing

Non-Disclosure (Second Best Option)

  • Records are SEALED – Hidden from most background checks
  • Government agencies can still see records
  • You can deny the arrest to employers
  • Available when expunction isn’t possible

“Once the case is sealed, you can actually deny that it happened. So if you’re in an application process with an employer, you can deny that this arrest ever occurred.” – Graham Norris

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the expunction process take?

Expunctions often take 3-6 months from filing to complete record destruction, but timelines vary. The timeline depends on court schedules, DA response time, and the number of agencies that need to destroy records. We’ll keep you updated throughout the entire process.

Can employers see expunged records?

No, once records are expunged, they’re completely destroyed. Background checks will show nothing. You can legally deny the arrest ever happened. This is why expunction is called the “gold standard” for clearing your record.

What if I have multiple arrests or charges?

Each case must be evaluated individually. Some situations allow multiple charges to be expunged together, while others require separate petitions. We’ll review all your cases and recommend the most cost-effective approach.

What happens if my expunction is denied?

We can often appeal or explore non-disclosure options. If expunction isn’t possible, non-disclosure might seal your records instead. We’ll explain all available options during your consultation.

How much does an expunction cost?

The truth is, costs vary, but we can find a solution for you. Complex cases may cost more depending on the number of charges and agencies involved. We offer payment plans to make clearing your record affordable.

Can I expunge old DWI charges?

Only if your DWI was dismissed or you were found not guilty. DWI convictions cannot be expunged in Texas, but dismissed DWI cases often qualify. We’ll review your specific case during consultation.
