Removing an Arrest Record in Coleman County

Arrest records in Coleman County stay on file unless a court orders their removal. Texas law allows expunction under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 55. You may qualify if charges were dropped, you were found not guilty, or the case was dismissed. If the court grants the expunction, every agency holding the record must destroy it, including the booking photo at the county jail.

To request an expunction, you file a petition in the district court in Coleman County. The judge reviews your case and decides whether the expunction is warranted. If approved, the Sheriff's Office and all other relevant agencies must destroy their copies of the record. After that point, you can legally state in most situations that the arrest did not happen.

An order of nondisclosure is a different option that seals a record without destroying it. This may apply to some deferred adjudication cases. A Texas attorney can help you figure out which route is available under your specific circumstances.
