QUESTION
What will I have to do after my deferred adjuication community supervision is fulfilled?
Asked on Jan 20th, 2013 on Criminal Law - Texas
More details to this question:
Its a Class B misdemeanor possession of marijuana. I took Deferred Adjudication, and sentenced to one year community supervision. I've completed TXDOEP class, community service, substance abuse counseling, and have been on mail status for following the guidelines of my probation. My CSO (probation officer) said when I'm done she'll sign a completion certificate, mail it to the judge, he'll sign it then mail it to me. Then, I'm supposed to take that to an attorney for what: expungment, petition for non-disclosure? Bottom line, I want to get this washed off my record as well as possible, but cant afford the rumoured attorney fees that go along with the steps to take (and there's variables for that reason). Is this something that I can take care of on my own? If not, why not, and how much am I facing to get this wrapped up.

if you complete the probation as you anticipate you will be eiigible to file a petition for non-disclosure immediately. There is no waiting period for a possession of marijuana case. If you don't have the forms to do this it will be difficult to accomplish this. I suggest you hire a lawyer. We handle these matters everyday and have an affordable pricing.

You will be eligible for non disclosure but you must wait two years after the probation ends. A petition for non disclosure must be filed then and be considered by the court. It is difficult to do by yourself so it is best if you get legal help. Since you will have to wait two years there il be time to save for the fees and filing cost.
