Clearing an Arrest Record in Lampasas County

An arrest record in Lampasas County stays on file unless a court orders it removed. Under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 55, you can petition for expunction if the charges were dropped, you were acquitted, or the case was dismissed. You file in district court in the county where the arrest took place.

If the court approves, every agency holding records of that arrest must destroy them, including the Sheriff's Office and its booking photos. After the expunction takes effect, you can say in most situations the arrest did not happen. A nondisclosure order is a different option that seals the record rather than destroying it. Contact a local attorney in Lampasas to find out what your case qualifies for.
