I have a criminal background, is there anyway to seal my criminal background so I can get a better job?

Asked by a user in Fort Worth, TX - about 3 years ago.

Unfortunately, the answer is no you can not get the convictions removed from your record or sealed. The only time you can legally have your records sealed in Texas is if you have successfully completed a deferred adjudication probation. If you have been to prison, there is not a way to seal your record.

My husband was in an accident an hour ago and was arrested for DUI, I don't know what to do now

Asked by a user in Katy, TX - almost 2 years ago.

If arrested in Harris County, the processing time can be long. I would contact a reputable bondsman and more importantly a quality DWI lawyer. A good place to start looking for a DWI attorney is with the National College for DUI Defense.

Can someone get a passport to travel into mexico with dui felony?

Asked by a user in Davenport, IA - almost 2 years ago.

To my knowledge there is no restriction on obtaining a US Passport with a felony DWI conviction. The real question is will the other country (Mexico) let the US citizen into Mexico? There are problems traveling to some countries with any DWI on your record - most notably, Canada. However, I have not encountered any problems with someone traveling to Mexico.

Will 2 dwi after 10 years still appear in a criminal record check

Asked by a user in Shelton, CT - almost 3 years ago.

Most likely yes. If you were convicted of DWI, the convictions will be on your record forever. It just depends on what database your employer uses to do background checks. A DWI conviction stays on your record forever.
