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.
