Asked 3/19/2016 – Dallas, TX

I was charged with injury to a child lesser offense included for getting my wife pregnant whom at the time we were only engaged. I was given 5 years deffered adjudication.

Answer

For you to have an order of non-disclosure on your felony, you must 1) successfully complete the terms of your deferred adjudication probation and have your case dismissed; and 2) wait 5 years from the date of dismissal on the case with no other charges before filing the request. If your deferred was revoked and a conviction was entered, the only was to remove this from your record is by pardon from the Governor.
