Removing an Arrest Record in Kendall County
Kendall County arrest records stay on file unless a court orders them removed.

The petition is filed with the district court in Kendall County, which holds sessions in Boerne.
If the court grants the petition, all agencies holding records of that arrest must destroy them, including the booking photo. After expunction takes effect, the arrest legally did not happen. An attorney in the Boerne or San Antonio area can review your eligibility and handle the filing.
