Expunction

Expunction Attorney in San Antonio, TX

Clear Your Record. Take Back Your Future.

A past mistake or wrongful accusation shouldn’t follow you forever. If you qualify for an expunction in Texas, you may be able to completely erase all records of your criminal case. At Argüelles & Lambert, we help clients in San Antonio and across Texas clear their names and move forward with confidence.

What Is an Expunction?

An expunction is a legal process that permanently deletes all records related to a criminal case — including arrest reports, fingerprints, booking photos, and court records — from every government agency involved. Once granted, it’s as if the case never happened.

You may qualify for an expunction under Article 55 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure if:

  • Your case was dismissed based on actual innocence
  • You were acquitted by a jury (found Not Guilty)
  • You were pardoned by the Governor or the President

Note: Eligibility varies depending on the type of offense and how the case was resolved.

Why Pursue an Expunction?

Even if you were never convicted, having a criminal case on your record can create lasting problems. Expunction allows you to:

  • Pass background checks for jobs, housing, or professional licenses
  • Protect your reputation and privacy
  • Avoid unnecessary police stops linked to prior records
  • Move forward without the stigma of a criminal charge
