Exponge misdemeanor?

What is the name of your state? Texas
My husband was recently charged for theft by check. He was given deferred adjudication and 6 months probation. He works for a bank, however, and was told that unless he has this exponged from his record, he would lose his job. How do we go about getting this done? What forms do we need to fill out? Do we need a lawyer? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Eh? There is nothing to expunge in a deferred adjudication?



Expungement/pardon

There are several thousand questions on this forum similar to yours. Thus, I have prepared a standard answer.

Standard answer: Expungement is generally granted for illegal arrests or unlawful convictions. Generally, pardons mean you are forgiven for the crime but it remains on your record.

Check with the governor or attorney general of your state to see how you can go about either of these procedures. Check with the Attorney General or the President for federal expungement or pardon.

You must remember that there may be private background check companies that have past offenses on their databases; those reports will never be expunged.
