Jeff was able to get my twice the legal limit BAC thrown out and he kept me from having an interlock device put on my car.

Tarrant County Record Sealing Lawyer

Is a criminal charge or conviction wreaking havoc on your life? There may be a way to minimize the damage. A Tarrant County nondisclosure order lawyer can help you seal your record.

If you’ve been charged with or convicted of a crime in Texas, you know how that offense has a way of following you around like a stray dog you can’t seem to get rid of. Whatever the reasons for your conviction (whether you pleaded guilty or were found guilty), you’ve probably realized just how much a conviction can impact your life.

Even years later, your charge or conviction can make it difficult to secure decent employment, make it impossible for you to qualify for government funding and programs, and disqualify you from living in certain housing areas. Contacting a Tarrant County record sealing lawyer may be the way to get past these struggles.

What Is a Nondisclosure Order in Tarrant County?

A nondisclosure order (record sealing) is an order signed by a judge and filed with the clerk of the court that directs that your record should not be released to most entities doing a background check on you. That means many employers, housing officials, and others won’t be able to access your record.

You’re even allowed to deny the offense on applications. Naturally, sealing your record comes with a catch. Not everyone will qualify. For information on whether your offense qualifies, speak with a record sealing attorney in Tarrant County.

What Are the Requirements for Record Sealing in Tarrant County?

Here is some information on having your record sealed in Tarrant County:

  • Your charge was dismissed or you were found not guilty.
  • Most misdemeanors will qualify, especially if you completed a deferred adjudication program.
  • Family violence offenses do not qualify.
  • Many felony offenses, such as murder, injury to a child, abandoning or endangering a child, and human trafficking, do not qualify.
  • For some offenses, there are certain waiting periods before you can apply for a nondisclosure order.

What Documents Will I Need Before Speaking with a Record Sealing Attorney in Tarrant County?

Case documents could assist your Tarrant County nondisclosure order attorney with filing a petition to have your record sealed. Gathering these documents ahead of time may speed up the process.

You may have one or several of the following:

  • A copy of the judgment in your case
  • A copy of the signed order reducing your period of community supervision, deferred adjudication, or early release from probation
  • A copy of the signed order showing you completed deferred adjudication, community supervision, or probation
  • A copy of the signed order showing your case was dismissed
  • A copy of the signed order showing that your case’s verdict was “set aside”
