hi there leisureoflife,
I too was awarded an expunction in Texas January 13, 2011 and as of today the record is still visible with the online country website. I was told by TXDPS they have until February 13 to act on the order and I should check back with them in May 2011 for the status of my order. I posted a separate thread in regards to my expunction and the effective date to remove my arrest record online with the county in which I reside and the arrest took place. I paid my attorney an additional $250.00 fee to get my records expeditiously removed in over 400 databases (private sector or 3rd party). My concern is the county website because I have extensively read how background checks are conducted and almost all of them go to the counties in which you have resided and check online records. How long did it take for your arrest record not to show up on the county arrest records website? or is it still showing up? This is discouraging because I have lost many great employment opportunties due to this arrest record and from what I am reading my granted expunction order doesnt mean anything.
