Expunctions and Non-Disclosure Research Guide
June 22, 2015
Feature
Our reference librarians created many legal research guides for specific areas of the law. These guides link to resources that can help you research a legal issue.
In certain cases, Texas individuals are able to have their criminal record "expunged" or they may petition for their record to be sealed ("non-disclosure").
The information on the expunctions and non-disclosure research guide can help you understand the difference between an expunction and non-disclosure, who is eligible for this, and how the process generally works.
We also highlight useful e-books, articles, and other digital resources that you can download from home (some of which require a library account) such as:
- Texas Criminal Practice Guide by Matthew Bender
- Expunction of Criminal History Record Information & Related Issues from the DPS
- Expunctions in Texas [PDF] by the Texas Young Lawyers Association
If you have a question or would like more information about any of our legal research guides, feel free to Ask a Librarian!
