Qualifying situations include acquittals, pardons, identity theft cases, and some dismissals. Not all dismissed cases qualify. Nondisclosure under Texas Government Code Section 411 may apply to deferred adjudication cases if expunction is not available. Nondisclosure seals records from public view but does not destroy them.
