Texas Order of Nondisclosure (Record Sealing) Attorney
An order of nondisclosure seals your Texas criminal record from public view — landlords, most employers, and background-check companies can no longer see it. If you completed deferred adjudication, or qualify under Texas’s second-chance laws, we can petition to seal your record for a $2,000 flat fee.

What an order of nondisclosure does
Under Texas Government Code Chapter 411, a nondisclosure order prohibits courts, clerks, and law enforcement from releasing your criminal history record to the public. Private background checks stop reporting it, and in most situations you may lawfully deny the arrest ever happened. Law enforcement and certain licensing agencies can still see sealed records, and some offenses — like family violence and most sex offenses — are not eligible.
Who qualifies
Eligibility depends on the offense, the outcome, and the waiting period. The most common paths: successful completion of deferred adjudication; certain first-time misdemeanor convictions; and — since Texas’s second-chance legislation — even some first-time DWI cases, generally where there was no accident, and after a waiting period that is shorter with an interlock history. We confirm your eligibility at the free consultation before you pay anything.
Nondisclosure vs. expunction
An expunction destroys the record entirely, but is generally limited to dismissals, acquittals, and no-bills. Nondisclosure seals a record that can’t be destroyed — the tool for cases that ended in deferred adjudication or certain convictions. Both are $2,000 flat fee with us; we’ll tell you which one your case supports.

Common questions

Can I get a DWI sealed in Texas?
Often, yes. Texas’s second-chance laws allow nondisclosure of many first-time DWI convictions, generally where there was no accident and after a waiting period. We confirm eligibility free before you hire us.
Who can still see a sealed record?
Law enforcement, prosecutors, and certain state licensing agencies retain access. The public — including most employers, landlords, and background-check services — cannot.
How long does the process take?
Most petitions resolve in a few months, depending on the county’s docket. We prepare the petition, set the hearing, and appear for you.
