Upon successful completion of deferred adjudication probation, a perfect may petition the court for non-disclosure of the arrest. When a judge signs an Order of Non-Disclosure, the record of the arrest is no longer public. This doesn't mean that the arrest is completely removed from a person's record. Law enforcement agencies, prosecuting attorneys, educational institutions, and a number of other organizations still have the authority to view offenses which have been non-disclosed. However, the general public is not privvy to matters that have been non-disclosed.
Not every case is eligible for a petition for non-disclosure. For more information about whether you qualify, please contact our office. |
