Bill > HB870

This bill amends the Texas Government Code to change the eligibility requirements for certain individuals placed on deferred adjudication community supervision to petition for an order of nondisclosure of their criminal history record information. The key changes include reducing the waiting period from two years to one year for individuals with certain misdemeanor convictions, and from five years to three years for individuals with felony convictions (excluding state jail felonies). The bill is intended to provide quicker access to nondisclosure orders for those who have successfully completed their deferred adjudication.
