Expungement of Class C Misdemeanor
after Deferred Disposition Ends 45.051(e)
of the Texas code of Criminal Procedure provides that records relating to a class C complaint dismissed after the completion
of deferred disposition may be expunged under Article 55.01. If a complaint is dismissed under this article, there is not
a final conviction and the complaint may not be used against the person for any purpose. Expungement When Case Dismissed By State If the class C offense case is dismissed without
deferred disposition, there is a two year waiting period before an expunction petition can be filed. The Courts have held
that the statute of limitations must run on the case before the expunction can be granted. Expungement When Found Not Guilty If you go to trial on the class C offense, and you are acquitted by the Judge or Jury, there
is no waiting period for expunction.
Expungement of Class "C" Misdemeanors that Resulted in Deferred AdjudicationIf you received deferred adjudication of a class "C" misdemeanor and completed your community supervision, you may be eligible to have your conviction expunged. After expungement, the release, dissemination, or use of your expunged records by any agency is prohibited. You may deny the occurrence of the arrest and expunction order after expungement.
