Expunction and Nondisclosure in Maverick 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 occurred. For Maverick County arrests, that is the 293rd District Court in Eagle Pass.

Qualifying cases include acquittals, pardons, identity theft situations, and some dismissals. Not all dismissals qualify. If expunction is not available, an order of nondisclosure under Texas Government Code Section 411 may apply for cases ending in deferred adjudication. Nondisclosure seals records from public view but does not destroy them. Serious felonies and sex offenses generally do not qualify.
