Can a DWI Be Expunged in Texas?
A final DWI conviction generally cannot be expunged in Texas. Expunction is a legal remedy that, when available, can require qualifying records relating to an arrest or criminal case to be destroyed or removed from government files.
Whether someone qualifies for expunction depends heavily on how the case ended and the requirements of Texas law. Depending on the circumstances, a person may qualify when a DWI-related case was dismissed, resulted in an acquittal, or was never prosecuted, provided all applicable statutory requirements are satisfied.
Because eligibility depends on the specific disposition and circumstances, simply having no conviction does not automatically guarantee eligibility for expunction.
