SEALMYARREST.COM — TEXAS RECORD SEALING
Your arrest record doesn't have to follow you.
Expunctions and orders of nondisclosure — handled for you by a Texas attorney, from first call to signed court order.
What Is Arrest Record Sealing?
Texas law provides two different ways to limit access to certain arrest records. An Order of Nondisclosure seals the covered records from public disclosure, while an Expunction directs their removal, subject to limited exceptions.
With nondisclosure, the records still exist. Law enforcement, certain licensing agencies, and employers authorized by law may still access them. What you must disclose on an application depends on the order and the application’s legal requirements.
The Process
How It Works
We Prepare Your Petition
Our attorneys draft and file the necessary court documents on your behalf. You do not need to appear in most cases.
Court Order Issued
Once the judge signs the order, law enforcement agencies and courts are required to seal your record from public access.
Your Record Disappears
Background check companies remove the arrest. You can legally state you were never arrested on most applications.
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost?
The initial consultation is free. If you choose to proceed, we provide a flat-fee quote upfront — no surprises, no hourly billing. Court filing costs vary by county.
How long does sealing take?
Most cases are resolved within 30 to 90 days after filing, depending on the county and court schedule. Expunctions may take longer.
Will employers still see my arrest?
It depends on the order. An expunction removes the covered arrest records under Texas law, subject to limited exceptions. A nondisclosure order generally keeps the covered records out of ordinary public background checks, but law enforcement, certain licensing agencies, and employers authorized by law may still access them. Neither process makes every database update immediately.
What is the difference between nondisclosure and expunction?
A nondisclosure order seals the covered records from public disclosure; the records still exist, and access allowed by law remains. An expunction directs removal of the covered arrest records, generally through return or destruction, subject to limited exceptions. These are different court orders with different effects.
