Before you start

Anyone in Texas can use the check. If your case is outside Collin or Denton County, you'll still get a preliminary result, but our office may not be able to represent you.

The eligibility check needs JavaScript to run. It runs in your browser so your answers stay with you until you choose to send them to us. If this message doesn't go away in a moment, please turn JavaScript on for this site or reload the page.

What we clear

Three ways Texas lets you move past an old record.

Different pathways apply to different situations. The eligibility check will tell you which — if any — fits your case.

Expunction

Remove eligible arrest and case records. An expunction is the strongest Texas record-clearing remedy. It may be available after an acquittal, certain dismissals, a never-filed arrest, or a qualifying completed program.

About expunction

Order of Nondisclosure

Seal an eligible record from most public view. A nondisclosure keeps the record in government systems but restricts ordinary public access. It may be available after some deferred adjudications and certain misdemeanor convictions.

About nondisclosure

Juvenile Record Sealing

Address an eligible case from juvenile court. Texas juvenile records follow separate rules. Eligibility depends on age, discharge, pending matters, adult felony history, commitment status, and other case-specific facts.

About juvenile sealing

Not sure whether one of these fits? The eligibility check can also route less common record-relief issues for individual review.

Who reviews your case

About Joshua Andor
Why people clear their records

The case may be over. The record can keep following you.

Background checks can keep surfacing an old case long after it ended. Clearing or sealing an eligible record can change what employers, landlords, licensing agencies, and others are able to see.

For opportunities.

Apply for jobs, housing, licenses, and other opportunities without an old case doing the talking first.

For privacy.

Reduce ordinary public access to an eligible record and limit how easily it turns up in routine searches.

For closure.

If Texas law gives you a way to clear or seal the record, you should be able to use it and move on.

Collin and Denton County records

Our office currently handles the lawyer work for qualifying record-clearing matters in Collin County and Denton County, Texas. The court where a particular filing belongs depends on the remedy and the underlying record — we confirm it during verification. Anyone in Texas is welcome to take the free check — if your case is elsewhere, you'll still see your preliminary result, and where we can't help directly we'll try to point you toward someone who can.

Questions

Things people usually want to know.

Is the eligibility check free?
Yes. The check is free, and no contact information is required until after you see your preliminary result. Sending the result to our office afterward is your call — and the attorney fee for handling a matter is quoted separately, up front.
Do I have to call a lawyer?
No. The process is built to run online. You take the check, see a preliminary result, and decide whether to send it to our office. Records verification and follow-up happen by email, and an attorney reviews the determination — without you having to chase anyone down by phone.
What happens after I submit my result?
A paralegal pulls the actual court record and related charges and compares them with your answers. An attorney then approves the eligibility determination, and we email you confirmed next steps — including what the matter would involve and what it costs. We may email you first if we need a document or a clarification. Records review normally begins within one business day.
What does the $1,250 fee include?
The $1,250 flat attorney fee covers one standard expunction, nondisclosure, or juvenile-sealing matter in Collin or Denton County: the court-record eligibility review, attorney approval, the standard petition and related documents, filing and ordinary case management, a standard hearing if one is required, and the standard proposed order with ordinary post-order follow-up. It's paid $625 at engagement and $625 before filing. Appeals are not included; the engagement agreement controls the exact scope.
Are filing fees included?
No — court filing fees are separate from the attorney fee and are due before filing. We tell you the amount for your county before anything is filed.
What is the difference between expunction and nondisclosure?
An expunction orders government entities subject to the order to remove eligible arrest and case records. An order of nondisclosure seals the record: it stays in government systems, but ordinary public access is restricted. Expunction is the stronger remedy; nondisclosure reaches some cases expunction can't.
How long does the process take?
It varies by court and case type, so we don't promise a schedule. In general: records verification takes days to a couple of weeks, and the court process after filing is typically measured in months, not days. We handle the follow-up so you don't have to chase anything.
What if I have more than one record?
Take the check for the case that matters most to you first. Each matter is evaluated on its own facts, and the flat fee covers one standard matter — if you have several, we'll review them together during verification and tell you what each would involve before you decide anything.
Why Collin and Denton Counties?
We're based in Allen, Texas, and we're starting with the courts where we practice most. If your case is elsewhere in Texas, take the check anyway — you'll still see your preliminary result, and where we can't help directly we'll try to point you toward someone who can.
Can an employer still see the record?
It depends on the remedy and who's looking. After an expunction, entities subject to the order must remove the records it covers. After a nondisclosure, ordinary public access is restricted, but law enforcement and certain statutorily authorized agencies and licensing entities may retain access. Private background-check companies work from their own databases, which may not update immediately or automatically.
