    Default Texas Non-Disclosure Petition Forms

    Hello,

    Hoping someone can help? I've been told that i can do the non-disclosure myself, and that there is really no need for a lawyer, or to purchase the forms from any website... is this true? Also, could someone direct me to the proper place (whether a physical or internet address) to obtain the forms? If i understand correctly, I'll just need the petition form and also to pay a court filing fee? This is for Collin County, Texas. I have two counts of POM under 2oz, which are both class b misdemeanors, and for both I have already successfully completed Def. Adj. and probation.

    Looking forward to any answer and any direction.

    Appreciative,
    Morton

    The procedure is pretty straightforward, and is summarized on this page.

    FYI, the procedure is fairly straight forward if you have only ONE charge. Many DA's (and judges) hold the opinion that it is not in the best interest of justice to seal a record if there are multiple charges because they think you are still commiting crimes, and thus they will oppose the petition. Be prepared to argue why it is in the best interest of justice at the hearing. Also, you should be aware that if you are denied the petition, you cannot refile later but would have to go through the appellate process.
