I have a class B misdemeanor that i was found guilty of in court in Texas in 2005. So i know that i don't qualify for "non disclosure". However, i successfully completed probation, and paid restitution. And haven't had any arrest's since. Every other answer to this question (online) seems to indicate that nothing short of a pardon from the Governor will get this expunged from my record. But, all i need is for it to be closed to the public in order to get a job that is waiting for this to be off my record before they will hire me (because it's a financial institution, and it's a theft charge). Is there anything else that could be done? Is there a "statute of limitation" that im just not privy to? Will a Petition to the Judge, in fact, work? Can i take care of this matter on my own without Legal Representation? Or am stuck with this for life??? Please clear this up for me
