Expunction and Nondisclosure in Hunt 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. The petition is filed in the district court of the county where the arrest took place. For Hunt County arrests, that is the district court in Greenville. Once an order is granted, all agencies with records on that arrest must destroy their copies.

Qualifying cases include acquittals, pardons, identity theft cases, and some dismissals. Not all dismissed cases qualify. If expunction is not an option, nondisclosure under Texas Government Code Section 411 may apply for cases that ended in deferred adjudication. Nondisclosure seals records from the public but does not destroy them. Serious felonies and sex offenses do not qualify. Waiting periods vary by offense class. The Hunt County District Clerk can explain what forms are needed and what fees to expect.
