WHAT DOES EXPUNGEMENT DO IN TEXAS?

Expunction under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 55 erases an arrest or charge completely. Records are destroyed by courts and law enforcement. Background checks come back clean, restoring opportunities for jobs, housing, licensing, and education. Expunction is the strongest record-clearing remedy in Texas.
