Expunction and Nondisclosure in Young 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 occurred. For Young County arrests, that means the 90th District Court in Graham. Once granted, all agencies holding records on that arrest must destroy their copies.

Qualifying situations include acquittals, pardons, identity theft cases, and some dismissals. Not every dismissed case qualifies. If expunction is not available, you may seek an order of nondisclosure under Texas Government Code Section 411 for cases that ended in deferred adjudication. Nondisclosure seals records from the public without destroying them. Serious felonies and sex offenses do not qualify. Waiting periods depend on the offense class. The Young County District Clerk can explain what forms apply and what fees to expect.

After an expunction order is served on all agencies, the Young County District Clerk removes those records and DPS deletes the entry from the state CCH database.
