    Question How to Petition to Seal a Misdemeanor

    I recently got arrested for possession of marijuana. I have to do some community service as well as 6 months probation. My two questions are:

    How can I get an early dismissal from probation? and

    Once I'm thru with all my community service and payed off everything I owe, How can I get it sealed, expunged, pardon or do anything so that I can legally deny it and have it cleared from my record?

    I just dont want this one time mistake to keep me from becoming a paramedic or getting any other jobs, financial aid, or school loans.
    It happened in San Antonio, TX.

    Also anyone have an idea how much of a charitable donation I have to make to get out of doing community service? Its only 24hrs. but dont want to do graphity clean up. (I don't get why the guy who was arrested for graphity didn't get graphity clean up)

    For early dismissal? You can ask for early dismissal. You probably won't get it.

    You can ask your probation officer if you can buy your way out of community service. If he's nice he won't laugh before telling you that you cannot.

    For an order of nondisclosure, you have to have a deferred sentence. Did you?
