You need to have successfully completed the entire term of probation, have nothing criminal pending, and not be on probation for any other offense(s). Contact a lawyer to file the pettion for expungement on your behalf.

No. The reason is that with subsequent DUIs, the penalties increase. If your case were to be "pardoned" or someway removed from your criminal record, and you got a subsequent DUI, it could be viewed as a first offense, which would not be the case.

If you were convicted in Texas, you have no right to expunge or wipe out the record, but you can go back to the court where you were convicted and file a petition for non-disclosure. If that's granted, and it likely will be if you have only the one offense, nobody but law enforcement should be able to retrieve it. You probably need a lawyer's help.

In Nevada, you can have your DUI conviction sealed two years after your absolute release from probation or suspended sentence. Once your record is sealed, the crime is deemed never to have been committed. Therefore, on a job or housing application, you can answer no if asked whether you have been arrested or convicted of a crime. Sealing your criminal record also restores any revoked civil rights.
