Renting an Apartment With a Criminal Record

Finding a Place to Call Home

Corporate landlords and large property management companies have incredibly strict background check policies. An arrest for a drug offense, theft, or assault—even one that was completely dismissed five years ago—can trigger an automatic denial in their software.

Securing an expunction removes this barrier. Because Texas law allows you to legally deny an expunged arrest ever happened, you can check 'No' on rental applications with total confidence, opening the door to better housing and safer neighborhoods for you and your family.

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.
