Does deferred adjudication termination mean the offense was expunged?: I committed an offense in which I was charged with a misdemeanor B in 2008. I was assigned 6 month probation and successfully completed it. I was informed that the offense would be expunged upon completion of my probation. The court document "order affecting community supervision reads" : today the period of community supervision expires, accordingly, the court orders the proceedings against the defendant dismissed and defendant discharged from supervision. I believe that would be self explanatory, however, my recent employers background check was able to locate the offense. Hence, my confusion. Would I have to consult legal council to have it expunged or as I was informed it was expunged upon completion?

Stephen’s answer: You may need to ask a Texas expungement lawyer but, generally speaking, a deferred sentence is not the same thing as a sealed or expunged sentence.

Will my misdemeanor be shown in a background check if it was sealed and expunged ?: I had a petti theft case where the judge said that if I plead guilty and take a class my first time offense would be sealed and expunged. Does this mean I can apply for bank Jons

Stephen’s answer: It depends on the sophistication of the background check but, generally speaking, an expunged misdemeanor should not show up.

Stephen’s answer: Each state has a different expungement statute, so your next step should be to set up a free consultation in the state of conviction (arrest, charge in your case) with a lawyer who does expungements. Assuming you were charged in Milwaukee, you should look for an expungement lawyer there.
