    Default How to Expunge a Shoplifting Misdeameanor

    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.

    With a deferment resulting in dismissal, the waiting period appears to be two years. See the Tex. Gov't. Code 411.081(d)(1), (2).
