My question involves criminal records for the state of: Texas
I have been arrested twice. The first Time I was arrested for possession of marijuana 0-2 ounces which was a Class B Misdemeanor but my lawyer had the charge reduced to a Class C misdemeanor Drug Paraphernalia Charge for which I was convicted. The second arrest was for theft 50-500 which was reduced to a class C misdemeanor and I was put on something called a special expense to where I would wait 90 days without getting into trouble and the court dismissed my case.
About a week ago I went to court to have my Theft Class C Misdemeanor sealed off of my record. The Judge granted the petition for nondisclosure but the court could not enter it into the system because my case was a special expense and not a regular deferred adjudication. They recommended that I wait to get it expunged off of my record.
My question is how long do I have to wait to have my theft charge expunged off of my record and what are the processes of doing that?
