Client Testimonials
"Thank you very much for all of your help. You have been just wonderful and I appreciate everything that you have done for me during this process." - Al R.

"My sincere thanks to you and your team for your hard work and professionalism in addressing this issue - I only wish I'd contacted you years ago!" - Raul O.
Texas Juvenile Record Sealing 
Your juvenile record may be available to law enforcement, educational institutions, licensing agencies, and even employers. Sealing prevents anyone from accessing your juvenile records except in criminal proceedings. You may be eligible for sealing if two years have passed since discharge and you have not committed a felony or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude since then.
Under Texas law, you may have your juvenile record sealed by a Texas court and removed from the criminal history database. Even if you were convicted of a crime you may have your record sealed if 1) you did not receive a determination sentence in a juvenile penitentiary, 2) you are not currently registered as a sex offender, 3) you were not tried as an adult, 4) there are no pending proceedings, 5) since your discharge you have not been convicted of a felony, a misdemeanor of moral turpitude, or been adjudicated of delinquent conduct and 6) it has been two years since you were discharged. If there was no adjudication, the two year waiting period is waived and you can seal your record immediately.

What if I join the military?
If you want to join the US military, then it becomes a matter of federal law, not Texas state law. All branches of the military will want to know about your juvenile offenses, even if they have been expunged. There is still a risk of being discharged from the military if you don’t tell them and they later find out about it. It’s always advisable to disclose that you had a conviction, but it was taken before a judge and he deemed it in the interest of justice to expunge/seal the record from public view.
Can anyone see sealed juvenile records?
A sealed juvenile felony record can be accessed by prosecuting attorneys, upon application and grant by the juvenile court, for purposes of prosecuting repeat or habitual offenders. Also the Department of Public Safety may inspect the files and records of an applicant for a license to carry a concealed handgun. Furthermore, an inspection of a sealed record may be permitted by order of juvenile court if you petition for it to be inspected and only by persons named in the order granting inspection.
How long does it take?
Currently, the whole process is taking about six to eight months.
Will it still show up on my background check after it is sealed?
Nothing will appear because the record will be sealed. Once a record is sealed it is treated as if it never happened and you can answer as if it never occurred.
