You may be able to get your charges expunged, but you will want to speak with an attorney for guidance on your eligibility for expungement.

Depending on the specific offenses, and other factors related to your case and probation, you may be eligible to have your cases dismissed (expunged). In some rare situations you may also be able to have the record permanently sealed, however often times an expungement and dismissal of the case is sufficient for future employment and obtaining housing etc. You should contact an attorney handling expungements for more information about these proceedings and how to have your record expunged. I do handle these types of expungement matters and welcome your call if you are looking for advise on how to proceed.

You can only seal your record if you successfully served out a deferred adjudication probation and did not get any new cases during any waiting period. You will have to pay a filing fee. If you qualify, it would be better to hire a lawyer.
