Non-Disclosure
Denton, Texas, Attorneys Helping You Seal Your Criminal History
Having a criminal history can affect you when you least expect it. You may have difficulty renting an apartment. You may run into problems getting a professional license. You may be unable to secure employment for which you are otherwise qualified. Your mug shot may show up whenever your driver's license is scanned.
At Boswell & Moore, we understand the impact that a criminal conviction can have on your life. We have extensive experience helping clients minimize the impact of a criminal conviction through non-disclosure orders. This is an order that seals an individual's criminal history from public inspection.

Non-Disclosure Orders
Non-disclosure orders are available to those who have successfully completed deferred adjudication probation. A petition for order of non-disclosure asks the court to seal your record from the public.
Non-disclosure is effective, although it is not as comprehensive as an expunction because your file remains intact for governmental purposes. It is important to remember that there are waiting periods for some non-disclosures.
Applying for Non-Disclosure
There are a number of eligibility requirements that must be met in order to apply for a non-disclosure order. Our firm can help you determine whether you are eligible, and if so, assist you in applying. It is important that all paperwork is done correctly. Depending on your criminal history, you may have to wait a certain amount of time before applying.
If you are successful in obtaining a non-disclosure order, you can move beyond your criminal history. Because a non-disclosure order seals your record from public view, you can be confident when applying for a job, renting an apartment or submitting to a background check.
