Clear Your Criminal Record in Texas | Expunction Lawyer | Ace Law

Why Hire an Expunction Attorney?

An arrest or criminal case — even one that was dismissed — can follow you for years. Background checks affect employment, housing, professional licenses, immigrationstatus, and reputation. In Texas, the law allows eligible individuals to erase criminal records completely through an expunction. But the process is technical, deadline-driven, and unforgiving. At Ace Law, we help clients throughout Houston and Texas legally clear their record and move forward with confidence.

Most Common Expunction Cases We Handle At Ace Law, we assist clients with expunctions involving:

  • Arrests with no charges filed
  • Dismissed criminal cases
  • Not guilty verdicts
  • Cases rejected by the District Attorney
  • Wrongful or illegal arrests
  • Certain juvenile cases
  • Expired waiting-period expunctions
  • Every case is different. Eligibility depends on how the case ended, the charge level, and timing.

Common Mistakes That Ruin Expunction Cases Mistake #1: “My case was dismissed, so it’s automatically expunged.” Dismissed does not mean erased. Without a court order, the record stays visible.

Mistake #2: “I can file this myself.” One missed agency, deadline, or statutory requirement can cause the judge to deny the expunction entirely.

Mistake #3: “I’ll just wait and see.”

Waiting too long can allow records to spread across databases, employers, and background-check companies — making cleanup harder.
