Waiting Period for Expungement in Texas
Certain qualifications must be met to be eligible for expungement and some exceptions may apply in your case. Dependent on the nature and seriousness of the crime, it is necessary for a minimum period of time to have elapsed before it is possible to clear the record, for example:
If you were arrested, but no charges were filed against you there is a waiting period before filing for an expunction. If you’re looking for an expungement of class C misdemeanor records in Texas, including Houston and Harris County, you must wait at least 180 days. For class A and B misdemeanors a time-frame of one year applies. There also must have been no felony charge against the defendant relating to the initial arrest to qualify for wiping the criminal record clean.
Please also note that if someone has been charged with more than one crime stemming from the same incident, they may not be eligible to have their records expunged even if they were acquitted of one of the charges.
