Professional Licenses and Your Criminal Record

Guarding Your Livelihood

State licensing boards—such as the Texas Board of Nursing, the Texas Real Estate Commission, and the State Board of Educator Certification—have broad authority to deny or revoke licenses based on criminal histories.

An Order of Nondisclosure often does not hide your record from these state agencies; they can still see sealed records. The only way to completely protect your professional license from the fallout of a dismissed case or arrest is to obtain a full Expunction . At Expungement.Legal, we regularly provide letters to boards while your petition is pending to help you stay employed.

Navigating the Texas legal system can be complex. At Expungement.Legal, we handle the entire process from start to finish. Our team of attorneys knows exactly how to ensure your record is thoroughly wiped from government and private databases alike.
