    Default Expunging A Class B Misdemeanor

    As briefly as possible:

    1978 pled guilty to a Class B Misdemeanor in Dallas County Texas. Did 10 days and paid a fine at that time.

    No trouble in the 30 years since.

    As I understand it, I now would have to apply with the State for a pardon; then--if I can actually get one--request in the courts that my records be either sealed or expunged.

    This pretty much the maze I would have to run? Anything I've missed?

    Thank you!

    Not certain if it's really worth it; I did recently have a job offer rescinded apparently because this came up in the background check (after 30 years?) though the employer never stated it as the reason in their 'adverse action' letter. As far as I can tell, it was the ONLY item flagged by the background firm for 'review'.

    Interestingly, the event occurred prior to my entry into my industry, and in the 3 decades since that entry, I never once failed a background check from an employer.

    Ever.
