Expunction

What Is It?

Expunction

If a court orders your record to be expunged, it may not be released or used for any purpose. After receiving an expunction, you are permitted to deny that you have been arrested or had a record expunged, unless you are asked about an expunged record while under oath in a criminal trial. In that case, you need only state that the record in question has been expunged. (Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 55.03 (2018).)
