Deferred Adjudications are incomplete resolutions to a criminal prosecution. Although a criminal defendant may rest comfortably with the certainty that successfully completing a term of deferred adjudication results in not having a reportable conviction; the prior arrest records remain publicly accessible to private parties. These prior arrest records can cause a great deal of unnecessary hardship on someone who is trying to move on from a past mistake. The granting of a non-disclosure order can truly give someone a real second chance to advance in society without being held back by the criminal justice system. Opportunities for employment, housing, dating relationships, and many other critical needs may be enhanced by the sealing of these records to the public. A non-disclosure order seals these arrests from being reported on background checks to private entities. Certain state agencies and law enforcement agencies will still retain access to this information in the future. Non-disclosures are even possible for certain individuals who were convicted of or placed on community supervision for certain misdemeanor offenses. The time to move forward is now, do not remain a prisoner of your past any longer.
