Does anyone know how long is required before I can get a class C misdeameanor expunged. It was for shoplifting in July of 2005 - something about $8.00. I received deferred adjudication and the case was dismissed. I want to expunge this asap.
I am also wondering how employers view this on a background check? Is it a big issue if it is dismissed vs being convicted. I really just want to move on with my life and put this behind me. I am located in Tx.
