Why And How To Get DWI Expungement?
Many people are not aware of the implications of a DWI conviction on their record. They assume that they can handle it without any legal advice. But the harsh truth is, if you have been convicted of DWI, your life will be affected for good. It becomes difficult to find a job, apply for credit, or even buy insurance.
It is important to understand a few things about DWI (driving while intoxicated), crime, and expunction. A DWI or DUI can’t be removed from your criminal record in the state of Texas automatically. To do so, you must go through a proper legal process to file a petition to the court for an Order of Expunction. Once the court orders are erased, your arrest record will then be destroyed and removed.
Getting a DWI record expunction is different from sealing a DWI. In sealing a DWI, charges are still visible to law enforcement; the charges in DWI Expunction are removed permanently from your record. However, there are eligibility requirements and a time limit to get your record expunged, even for first-time DWI offenders.
If you don’t act fast or do nothing about it, your DWI arrest will stay on the record forever. Your initial actions can affect administrative and criminal proceedings, helping you potentially avoid unnecessary expense and lasting harm.
Rolando Cantú Attorney at Law has a deep understanding of Texas law and is adept at handling even the most complicated cases. From first-time DWI convictions to complicated criminal cases, he is competent to represent you and help you avoid penalties.
