The Texas DPS Crime Records Division maintains the statewide criminal history database.

Removing an Arrest Record in Randall County
An arrest record stays on file in Randall County until a court orders it cleared. Texas law provides for expunction under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 55. If your charges were dropped, you were found not guilty, or the case was dismissed, you may qualify to have the record destroyed. Once expunged, all agencies with copies of the record must destroy them, including the Sheriff's Office. You can legally deny the arrest in most situations after that.
An order of nondisclosure is a second option. It does not destroy the record but shields it from public view. Either way, you need to file a petition in Randall County district court. An attorney familiar with Texas criminal law can help you figure out which route to take and whether you qualify.
