I'm trying to find out why my Class B Misdemeanor for theft ($50-$500) incident from 2005 in Harris County is still showing up on background checks. My lawyer supposedly had it sealed. Thoughts?

In order to find out what happened you'll need some more specific information. No case is "sealed," automatically. So, if you didn't pay a fee that included the cost to file a Petition to Expunge (if the case was dismissed) or a Petition of Non-Disclosure (if the case was dismissed after you successfully completed a deferred probation) it likely isn't sealed. If either of the above resolutions were what actually happened with your case, you may be able to pursue them now. But, we need more information to be able to tell you exactly what has happened, and what your current options are.
