If you received a determinate sentence on any of them, you cannot seal your records. If you have been prosecuted for any other crimes since these occurred whether as an adult or a juvenile, depending on the offense, you may be barred from sealing the records. If you are eligilble to seal the records, it will be up to the Judge's descretion to grant your request.

You may qualify for an expungement if your felony cases were no billed, dismissed or you were found not guilty. You may be entitled to a non disclosure after five years of successfully completing most felony deferred adjudictions. Otherwise, you may not get any cases off your record.
