Common Questions
Can I get a DWI expunged in Texas?
Expunction is limited to cases that were dismissed, acquitted, or never filed. A standard DWI conviction generally cannot be expunged, though other relief such as nondisclosure may apply in specific circumstances.
What is the statute of limitations for felonies in Texas?
Most felonies must be prosecuted within three years, but serious offenses such as murder have no limitation period. Misdemeanors typically carry a two-year limit.
