In today's increasingly connected and information-saturated society, negative information about a person's background is more likely than ever to surface at one time or another.

You should know that you may not have to carry this burden forever.
Did you know that you may be eligible to have your arrest record expunged? Texas law grants many individuals the right to close the books on a past arrest so that it no longer hinders their ability to get hired, attend school, take out a loan, or enjoy many other benefits and opportunities that are frequently denied to individuals with criminal records. Rather than let a mistake you made in your past continue to define and damage your present and future, talk to the Fort Worth expungement attorney.

Who Is Eligible for Expungement?
- In many situations, you could qualify to have your arrest record permanently sealed or cleared entirely.
- If you were arrested but never convicted, for example, you can probably have your record wiped out or expunged.
- If you were a juvenile at the time of your arrest, the record can be sealed. The same is true for adult deferred adjudications.
- If you were arrested and convicted for a Class C misdemeanor or higher offense, you will not be eligible for having the record sealed.

Why not find out if you can have that record cleared? The process is easy with a Fort Worth expungement lawyer on your side.

What Is the Difference between Expungement & Sealing a Record?
Expungement means that all files regarding your arrest are actually eliminated and removed from all databases. This is a thorough "cleanse" that will effectively make it seem as though the arrest never happened. Sealing a record, on the other hand, is slightly less complete, although still hugely beneficial to the individual.
When sealed, while the record is kept, an order of nondisclosure makes it impossible for any individual to access the record unless certain, extremely specific conditions are met.
