Legal Guidance For Petitions For Nondisclosure
Sealing your past criminal record in Texas so it is not accessible for public inspection is called an Order of Nondisclosure or a Petition of Nondisclosure. An Order of Nondisclosure prevents the release of your criminal prosecution and criminal arrest records to the general public, for example, schools, employers, credit agencies and your landlord.
If you have completed your probation, your Texas criminal record is still publicly available. And if you don’t qualify for expunction, an Order of Nondisclosure may work for you. Once your Dallas criminal records have been sealed by order of Nondisclosure, it is possible to deny the existence of any charges, arrests and probation. Contact me, Dallas criminal attorney Mark Perez, to see if you qualify.
Is There A Waiting Period? Which Offenses Qualify?
An order of Nondisclosure is a legal procedure for sealing criminal records for felonies and misdemeanors. However, certain crimes, such as indecent exposure, assault, unlawfully carrying a weapon, and others, require a five-year waiting period. Some offenses do not qualify for an Order of Nondisclosure. For more information about an Order of Nondisclosure, contact Dallas criminal attorney Mark Perez.
