    Default Class 'B' Misdemeanor During Naturalization

    Texas

    I am filing for naturalization. Back in 2000, i sold alcohol to intoxicated person and i got a class B misdemeanor on my record. Will this prevent me from being naturalized? Should i file expunction of this record before naturalization? Will expunction help? Or i don't need to worry about all this, since this was not a crime

    In Texas only dismissed cases are outright expunged - you cannot get a guilty plea expunged and a deferred adjudication will only be partially expunged (the records remain)

    That's not entirely accurate. In Texas you can get an expunction for a deferred Class C misdemeanor. You can also seek an expunction for any offense if you first receive a pardon, but the odds of getting a pardon are slight.

    A Class B misdemeanor is a crime.
