Texas Expunctions (Tex. Code of Criminal Procedure Art. 55.01 seq) have the useful effect of preventing the release, dissemination or use of expunged records for any purpose. An individual with an expunged record may deny the occurrence of an arrest and the expunction order itself. If questioned under oath, they need only state that the matter has been expunged. This can be a tremendous benefit for individuals that are in need of maintaining or seeking employment.
A person who knowingly releases or disseminates an expunged record and violates the Expunction Order could face a criminal charge that constitutes a Class B misdemeanor.
