More details to this question:
In 1994, my husband was convicted for a Violent Felony for Robbery and guns were found in the car. He received 5-15 and served almost 10 years in prison. He came home in Jan. 2001 and we were married in 2004. He's been out of trouble and has been working for the last 10 years. Now, we found out that I can not have children and we would like to adopt. However, because of his Violent Crime record we can not.

In most states robbery is in the class of crimes that can not be expunged. Just search on the internet for your states expungement statute and it will tell you those crimes that can't be expunged.

In Missouri, only a few types of felonies can be expunged but "violent felony for robbery" does not qualify for expungement.

No, unless he is pardoned. Pardons in Texas number in the single digits per year. Visit a local criminal defense attorney if you want further insight on the likelihood of a pardon.

In Michigan, to be eligible for an Expungement, your Husband must have received only one conviction arising out of the incident - if he was convicted of multiple counts, he is not eligible. Also, if the crime for which he was convicted is punishable by a maximum of life in prison, or if it was a Federal crime, or if it was a violation of the Motor Vehicle Code, it cannot be Expunged. The applicable statute governing Expungements in Michigan is MCL 780.621.
