DWI Expungement in Texas
If you have been charged with or convicted of DWI in Texas, you may be wondering if there is a way to have that matter cleared from your records. Both charges and convictions usually become part of a person’s criminal record and may make it difficult to get jobs or have other opportunities that others often take for granted.
Unfortunately, it is usually difficult for a DWI to be expunged from a person’s record. However, the laws covering these issues are complex, and while an overview is provided here, it may benefit you to speak directly with a knowledgeable DWI defense attorney.
Opportunities for DWI Expungement
There are a couple of situations in which DWIs may be expunged:
- If you were arrested for DWI but were never convicted nor did you plead guilty
- If your charge was a class C misdemeanor, you received deferred adjudication, and you completed all the requirements thereof
There may be other factors in your particular case that could help with getting your charge or conviction expunged.
