Everyone, at some point, has made a mistake or has been in the wrong place at the wrong time resulting in trouble. For some, that trouble can lead to a criminal record reflecting an arrest, charge, or conviction. Texas law does allow individuals to remove information about an arrest, charge, or conviction from their permanent records in certain circumstances. Once a person’s record is expunged, all information is sealed from the criminal record and that person can deny the incident ever occurred.
Having a criminal record can make life more difficult in many ways, including affecting a person’s ability to get a loan, their insurance rates, whether they can sign a lease to rent an apartment, or if they can find a job where they can be hired – not to mention your reputation. Texas does allow some leeway via statute by which someone with a record can have that record erased or sealed. The ability to have your criminal record sealed is a statutory right, not a constitutional right. Therefore, to be eligible for a Texas nondisclosure, a person must meet all of the requirements listed in the applicable statute.
A nondisclosure order seals part of your criminal record. The order stops public entities, including courts, clerks of the court, law enforcement agencies, and prosecutorial offices, from sharing information about the sealed offense. If you have a nondisclosure order for an offense, you do not have to enter the offense on most job applications.
There are exceptions. Certain state agencies and licensing boards may still obtain information concerning an offense that is the subject of an order of nondisclosure.
Please note that a nondisclosure order applies only to a particular criminal offense. The order does not apply to all offenses that may be on your criminal history record. However, you may obtain multiple orders of nondisclosure for multiple offenses.
