What are you asking? If you got a deferred on a felony that you successfully completed and 5 years has passed since your release from probation and the theft case occurred before the felony, you are eligible to petition the felony court for nondisclosure but you must pay a filing fee and present it to that court in which the case was prosecuted. You really need a lawyer. Regarding the misdemeanor - if it was a final conviction, it stays. If it was a deferred and you successfully completed probation then you can petition the misdemeanor court in which THAT case was prosecuted. If it was dismissed, you must file for expunction in civil district court IF you qualify (which you may not....) You need to talk with a lawyer local to where your cases were prosecuted.
