Re: Expunged Record... really expunged?

More | Report Post

I am not quite sure about the law in Texas. Just as I said, it
will be difficult to wipe off your record once it is there. In
some state, if the defendant is convicted, there is no chance to
expunge it at all. I know it is unfair to people, especially to
some young adults who make mistakes, but this is the situation,
there is nothing you can do about it. So, as I said, run a
criminal background check on your own The first thing you can do
is to go to the police department which arrested you to run a
background check, then go to www.publicdata.com to do it again,
the last thing is to go to Texas criminal database custodian to
run a self background check. If all of them show the record, you
probably have to find a job which doesn't require background
check. BTW, how the case was settled, if you went through pretrial
diversion, the case should not be reported. In addition to that,
were you arrested or just summoned to the court, if you were not
arrested, most likely you were not reported by the police
department.
