Non-Disclosure Orders

The Cochran Firm

A non-disclosure order is a legal order that people try to obtain when they want to seal their criminal records so that the records are not available for public inspection or review.  By filing for non-disclosure orders, most people prevent themselves from being denied future opportunities by schools, banks, employers and/or landlords.  The majority of time, these very people review a person’s criminal record before extending the person an opportunity.  If the person has criminal offenses on his/her criminal record, chances are that key people will deny them opportunities or fail to give them the benefit of the doubt.

In order for people to file for a non-disclosure order in the state of Texas, they must meet eligibility requirements.  If they do not meet requirements, they cannot legally obtain a non-disclosure order.  People who are automatically ineligible are those who have committed serious sex crimes like:  sexual assault, indecency with a child, prohibited sexual contact and crimes against children.  Additionally, people who have been convicted of committing federal and felony crimes such as kidnapping, burglary with a weapon, injury to a child, murder, stalking/harassment or violating a restraining order may not be eligible for a non-disclosure order.
