Can cleaning up your criminal record truly transform your future? In this episode, I share my personal journey through the challenges of a DWI arrest and the pivotal moment I discovered the power of record expungement. You'll learn about the two primary methods available in Texas to clear your record: expunction and non-disclosure. Understand how expunction, the gold standard, can allow you to deny your arrest ever happened by destroying all records, and discover the eligibility criteria such as case dismissal, completion of a pre-trial diversion program, or being found not guilty at trial. We'll also walk you through the process of obtaining an expunction, from filing a petition to securing a judge's signature.

For those who may not qualify for expunction, we dive into the benefits of obtaining an order of non-disclosure, especially if you've completed deferred adjudication or have misdemeanor convictions like DWI. Learn how an order of non-disclosure can effectively shield your past from most private employers and housing background checks, covering about 80% of scenarios. If you're unsure about your eligibility or the steps to clean up your record, this episode is a must-listen. Take proactive steps to reclaim your future opportunities and peace of mind. Join us to explore these processes and understand how they can pave the way for a fresh start.

What if we told you that, even with a minor legal misstep, there's a potential path for redemption that could end with the expunction of your criminal record? In this episode, I walk you through the maze of pre-trial diversion programs in Texas, with a spotlight on Bexar County. I explain the benefits and pitfalls of these programs designed for first-time offenders or those with minor criminal history. We also discuss how enrolling in such a program could fast-track your case resolution and what you need to do to succeed.

I'll also help you understand how pre-trial diversion can help you qualify for an expunction faster than a dismissal can.  The programs will usually require you to attend classes, perform community service, and pay fees. We'll also talk about the possible consequences if you fall short of fulfilling all the program's requirements or face a new charge. This episode is packed with valuable insights about your rights and the legal system. If you're navigating a charge in San Antonio or the surrounding areas, this episode might be the lifeline you need. So, tune in, and let's steer your way through this together.

While your case winds its way through the system, you will likely receive an offer on your case. What is an offer and should you take it? If you accept an offer, you will go in front of a judge with a plea agreement. Usually that will you pleading guilty or no contest to a charge in exchange for an agreed upon punishment. What's less clear is whether trying to determine whether or not its better to take an offer or take your case to trial.

If you're being charged with a possession case, there are several things that are specific to those types of cases that you should know about. In these types of cases, the main issues are whether the search that led to to cops finding the illegal substance or object (drugs, guns, identification, etc) was a legal search and can they prove that you were the one possessing the illegal object. If the search was illegal or if they can't tie the substance to you, your charges may be dismissed. If you're being charged with a crime in the San Antonio area, I would be happy to answer any questions that you have and discuss your case with you.
