Clear Your Criminal Record Across Texas with Our Help
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.
Call today at (817) 349-7118 to learn more about the process and the regulations surrounding expungement in Tarrant County, Texas.
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.
Whether you are looking to take out a loan from a bank, get a new job, rent an apartment, or take out an insurance policy, an arrest record could significantly hurt you. Why not find out if you can have that record cleared? The process is easy with a Fort Worth expungement lawyer on your side. You owe it to yourself and to your loved ones to discover what your options are.
Steps to Expunge Your Record in Texas

Expungement for Unlawful Carry of a Handgun in Texas
House Bill 1927 was signed into law in June 2021, making it legal for Texans to carry handguns in public without needing a license to do so.
- The law also provides expungement for anyone who was convicted for the unlawful carry of a handgun under Penal Code 46.02(a) before Sept. 1, 2021.
Our expungement attorney in Fort Worth can help you with the legal process for expungement if you qualify under House Bill 1927. For more information, get in touch with us today!
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.

"I consider this money well spent. He did a great job."I hired David Sloane to defend me against marijuana charge. He gave me the option of charging a flat fee. It was explained to me my cost would be fixed regardless of whether it took him one appearance in court or ten. I agreed to this as a means of limiting my legal cost. He was able to get the charges against me dismissed. I consider this money well spent. He did a great job for the price quoted.- Slade

"Best lawyer in the DFW metroplex hands down"David and his staff are excellent in helping you understand everything that is going on. If you want a lawyer to fight for you and not do the bare minimum then David Sloane is the one to contact. I went from having a state jail felony and a class b misdemeanor, to just a class c misdemeanor no felony. He also got it set up to where my record is sealed. I really have no idea where I would be or what the outcome would have been if I didn't choose David as my attorney. Olga is also very helpful as well and does an excellent job of letting you know when and where you need to be, and also helps you understand things going on with your case. I give David and his team 5 stars because of how they treated me and what an outstanding job David did. Thank you so much for your help.- JC
