Removing an Arrest Record in Collin County

Arrest records in Collin County remain on file unless a court orders them removed. Texas law provides the right to seek expunction under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 55. You may qualify if the charges were dropped, you were acquitted at trial, or the case was dismissed. Some deferred adjudication cases also qualify under specific rules. An approved expunction requires all agencies to destroy their copies of the record, including booking photos.

You file the petition with the district court in the county where the arrest occurred. For Collin County arrests, that is in McKinney. If the judge approves the expunction, the Sheriff's Office and Detention Center must destroy their records. After an approved expunction, you can legally say the arrest did not happen in most circumstances.

An order of nondisclosure is a separate option that seals a record without destroying it. This is often available for certain deferred adjudication completions. An attorney in McKinney or the Collin County area can help you assess your eligibility and file the appropriate petition.
