How do you get records expunged in Texas?

Answer:

Answer

If the offense was committed as an adult and constituted a felony then it is a permanent entry on the convicted person's record and can only be removed by a pardon from the governor or in some cases overturned by an appellate court due to a wrongful conviction or other statutory ruling.

The requirements and procedures to expunge criminal records in Texas are set out in Chapter 55 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. You can read the legislation at the FastLaws link below.
