    Texas' "Automatic Restriction of Access to Records System"
    Hello,

    In a court of law, would one legally be able to deny to a "judge" EVER being arrested if he/she was charged with a Class B misdemeanor in Texas at age 14 but did NOT commit any criminal offenses after becoming 17 years of age and is now 25 years old?

    Thank you

    I know in the case of an order of non-disclosure, you would simply state in court that your record have been sealed without any elaboration and in all other cases (outside the courtroom) you can flat out deny it. However, I'm not sure about juvenile records. You should call the Texas Youth Commission or Texas Juvenile Probation Commission.

    Thanks for your reply.

    So in other words, one couldn't say "No" when asked by a judge if you've ever been arrested or charged with any misdemeanors?

    It's not going to be a criminal court. I was aware that this is when they could gain access to your juvenile records in a criminal case. Also, the Probation Officer said the record would be "clear" if he/she would stay out of trouble and finish community service (which was done).

    It would really be nice if one could just saw "No" to the judge when asked this question.

    Thank you

    Just heard back from an attorney. One can LEGALLY deny that he/she was ever arrested to a Judge, UNLESS it's in any future criminal prosecution case.

    Pays to stay out of trouble. :D :D :D
