#1 Goal Is Dismissal
A criminal charge — or even an arrest that didn’t lead to a conviction — can haunt you for years. It can show up on background checks for jobs, housing, loans, or professional licenses. The good news? Texas law provides ways to expunge or seal your criminal record so you can move forward with confidence.
At The Hull Firm, our experienced Austin expungement lawyers help people clear their records every day. We’ll review your situation, explain your options, and fight to protect your future.
What’s the Difference Between Expungement and Nondisclosure?
This is one of the most common questions we hear as expungement attorneys in Austin. Here’s how it works:
- Expungement (Expunction) – This means your criminal record is completely erased. It’s as if the arrest never happened. All records, fingerprints, booking photos — gone.
- Nondisclosure (Record Sealing) – This means your record is sealed from public view. Government agencies and certain licensing boards may still see it, but employers and landlords can’t.

Who Qualifies for Expungement in Texas?
- You were arrested but never charged
- Your case was dismissed
- You were found not guilty at trial
- You successfully completed a pretrial diversion program
- Certain qualifying juvenile offenses
- Certain qualifying misdemeanor convictions for minors
The truth is, expungement is not automatic. You have to petition the court — and the process can be tricky without an experienced expungement attorney.
Who Qualifies for Nondisclosure?
If you were placed on deferred adjudication for certain misdemeanors or felonies and completed all conditions successfully, you may be able to seal your record through an Order of Nondisclosure. Not every offense qualifies — and some waiting periods apply.
An experienced Austin record sealing lawyer will help you figure out if you qualify and guide you through the process step by step.
Benefits of Expungement or Sealing Your Record
Clearing your record means you can legally say you’ve never been arrested or charged — you can apply for jobs, housing, or a professional license with a clean slate.
Benefits include:
- Increased employment opportunities
- Easier housing applications
- Restored reputation
- Peace of mind
