    Default Expunging more than one class c misdemeanor in Texas

    I have two class c misdeamnors of theft, which were both dismissed through deferred adjudication. They occured two years apart. Am I even eligible for expungement of both of them? What is the success rate?

    Default Expunction in Texas

    For some misdemeanors, particularly those from juvenile or municipal court, you may qualify for expunction following a delayed disposition. However, for most you would have to petition for an order of non-disclosure - that is, an order that seals your records from those offenses. For an order of non-disclosure, I understand that there is a two-year waiting period following completion of the deferment for most misdemeanor charges.

    Default

    Both of my misdemeanors were from municipal courts, so does that mean I will automatically qualify for expunction? What exactly are the qualifications for an expunction after a delayed dispostion?

    Default Seeking Expunction

    As I read the statement above, that's going to depend upon the charge. So you should probably consult a Texas lawyer about whether you qualify for expunction or for having your record sealed, and proceed with the remedy for which you qualify based upon your record and the time since you finished probation.
