Nondisclosure of Criminal Records
Have you completed deferred-adjudication probation? If so, Clancy & Clancy may petition the court for nondisclosure (sealing) of your criminal record from the public. For most misdemeanors, a defendant may make a request for nondisclosure upon completion of deferred-adjudication probation.
What is deferred adjudication? A judge may place a defendant on probation and defer any finding of guilt unless the defendant does not complete the conditions of the probation. If the defendant successfully completes the terms of the probation, the court will not enter a finding of guilt.
Some misdemeanors and all felonies require a minimum time before a request for nondisclosure. The time period depends on the offense.
If you have been convicted or placed on straight probation, you are not eligible for a nondisclosure of your criminal record.
The following felonies also are not eligible:
- An offense with an affirmative finding of family violence
- Violation of a protective order
- Aggravated kidnapping
- Murder
- Capital murder
- Manslaughter
