Order of Nondisclosure in Fort Worth
Prohibit Disclosure of Your Misdemeanor or Felony
An "Order of Nondisclosure" is a legal procedure through which, under certain circumstances, your misdemeanor or felony can be placed under a court order that prohibits government agencies from disclosing the existence of your case.
In most misdemeanor cases, you can petition the court for an order of nondisclosure immediately after the successful completion of your probation. Cases such of the following are open for orders of nondisclosure:
- Unlawful transport or restraint
- Indecent exposure or public lewdness
- Assault
- Domestic offenses
- Riot
- Highway obstruction
- Weapons offenses
- Animal abuse
For felony cases, you must wait ten years after completing your probation before petitioning the court for an order of nondisclosure. The following offenses cannot be sealed:
- Any offense requiring sex offender registration
- Aggravated kidnapping
- Murder
- Causing injury to an elder, disabled, or underage person
- Abandoning or endangering a child
- Stalking
- Violating protective order
