Can cleaning up your criminal record truly transform your future? In this episode, I share my personal journey through the challenges of a DWI arrest and the pivotal moment I discovered the power of record expungement. You'll learn about the two primary methods available in Texas to clear your record: expunction and non-disclosure. Understand how expunction, the gold standard, can allow you to deny your arrest ever happened by destroying all records, and discover the eligibility criteria such as case dismissal, completion of a pre-trial diversion program, or being found not guilty at trial. We'll also walk you through the process of obtaining an expunction, from filing a petition to securing a judge's signature.

For those who may not qualify for expunction, we dive into the benefits of obtaining an order of non-disclosure, especially if you've completed deferred adjudication or have misdemeanor convictions like DWI. Learn how an order of non-disclosure can effectively shield your past from most private employers and housing background checks, covering about 80% of scenarios. If you're unsure about your eligibility or the steps to clean up your record, this episode is a must-listen. Take proactive steps to reclaim your future opportunities and peace of mind. Join us to explore these processes and understand how they can pave the way for a fresh start.

What if we told you that, even with a minor legal misstep, there's a potential path for redemption that could end with the expunction of your criminal record? In this episode, I walk you through the maze of pre-trial diversion programs in Texas, with a spotlight on Bexar County. I explain the benefits and pitfalls of these programs designed for first-time offenders or those with minor criminal history. We also discuss how enrolling in such a program could fast-track your case resolution and what you need to do to succeed.

I'll also help you understand how pre-trial diversion can help you qualify for an expunction faster than a dismissal can. The programs will usually require you to attend classes, perform community service, and pay fees. We'll also talk about the possible consequences if you fall short of fulfilling all the program's requirements or face a new charge. This episode is packed with valuable insights about your rights and the legal system. If you're navigating a charge in San Antonio or the surrounding areas, this episode might be the lifeline you need. So, tune in, and let's steer your way through this together.
