I have 2 felonies. One from 94' and the other from 98'. I was in my 20s and was living a really bad life. Now I am a mother and law abiding citizen. I really want to have a great life, but everytime I try to get a decent job, they bring up the felonies. What can I do to get this off of my record? I am in Texas. Someone please help and I dont need any negative remarks, so keep the negativiity to yourself! Thank U!

Felonies commited after you are an adult are never "expunged". You can petition the governor for a pardon, however, even if you get one, the convictions will remain on your NCIS record forever. As such, they will appear on any background check for the rest of your life.
As long as you are not applying for government or law enforcement jobs, I recommend this: when asked, say no. If your job doesn't require a security clearance, it's not likely that your potential employer is going to spend the money to do a background check. Good ones aren't cheap. Just keep yourself low-profile, and it will not be an issue. Stay away from jobs that handle cash or kids.

i'm no longer a Texas criminal lawyer. in spite of the undeniable fact that, as far as i am going to tell, you does no longer be able to expunge your archives. It does look like you ought to be able to seal them assuming you've been convicted as a juvenile. it received't ensue immediately, yet you may report an software. i does no longer propose attempting this with out an lawyer. Pay the $3000 (or perhaps with that is) to do it one time, real, in place of taking the prospect of messing it up and costing your self more beneficial funds contained in the finished (or feasible destroying your threat to have those archives sealed in any respect).

I'm from Texas,too. I've also been in lots of trouble in the past. Some felonies kinda expunge themselves after a certain amount of years. For example a DWI will take ten years to go away. You can call any lawyer in the phone book and ask them. They'll give you that type of info for free.
