San Antonio Non-Disclosure Lawyer

Clearing Your Criminal Record

If you received Deferred Adjudication probation on a prior criminal case and successfully completed it, you may be eligible for a Non-Disclosure. Roberto Ambrosino, a criminal defense lawyer in San Antonio, may be able to help you.

Like an expunction, there is usually a waiting period, ranging from two to five years from the date your case was dismissed to obtain a non-disclosure. A non-disclosure seals your criminal record for a particular case, making it only visible by certain government agencies, and will not appear in most private criminal background checks.

Those Able to Still View Non-Disclosed Crimes

A criminal justice agency may disclose criminal history record information over a non-disclosure to the following agencies, including but not limited to:

• The State Board for Educator Certification
• Any school district
• The Texas State Board of Medical Examiners
• The State Bar of Texas
• The Department of Family and Protective Services (CPS)
• The Board of Nurse Examiners, a hospital, fire department
• The Texas Health and Human Services Commission

Crimes That Are Not Eligible for Non-Disclosure

Unfortunately, some crimes are not able to be non-disclosed, even if you did receive deferred adjudication and completed it successfully. Under Section 411.08 of the Texas Government Code, a person is not eligible for a non-disclosure if the person has been previously convicted or placed on deferred adjudication for:

• Indecency with a Child
• Sexual Assault
• Aggravated Sexual Assault
• Prohibited Sexual Conduct
• Aggravated Kidnapping
• Burglary of a Habitation with intent to commit any of the above offenses
• Compelling Prostitution
• Sexual Performance by a Child
• Child Pornography
• Unlawful Restraint, Kidnapping, or Aggravated Kidnapping of a person younger than 17
• Attempt, Conspiracy, or Solicitation to commit any of the above offenses
• Capital Murder
• Murder
• Injury to a Child or Elderly
• Abandoning or Endangering a Child
• Violation of a Protective Order
• Stalking; or
• Family Violence offenses.
