Removing an Arrest Record in Pecos County
If your Pecos County arrest was dismissed or you were found not guilty, you may qualify for expunction under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 55. The petition is filed in the district court in Fort Stockton. Once the expunction order is granted, agencies must destroy their copies of the record.
Eligibility depends on the charge type and outcome of the case. An attorney familiar with West Texas courts can review your case and confirm whether you qualify. The process involves notifying all agencies that hold copies of the record before the hearing.
An Order of Nondisclosure is available for some deferred adjudication completions. This seals the record from most public access. Either option can significantly reduce the impact of an old arrest on your public profile and future background checks.
