Expunction and Nondisclosure in Gray County

Texas law allows eligible people to have criminal records expunged or sealed. Expunction under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 55 removes and destroys records for qualifying cases. You file the petition in the district court of the county where the arrest happened. For Gray County arrests, that means the 100th District Court in Pampa.

Qualifying situations include acquittals, pardons, identity theft cases, and some dismissals. If expunction is not available, you may seek an order of nondisclosure under Texas Government Code Section 411 for cases ending in deferred adjudication. Nondisclosure seals records from the public but does not destroy them. Serious felonies and sex offenses do not qualify. The Gray County District Clerk can advise on forms and fees.
