Help Me Get A Non Disclosure For My Drunk Driving Deferred Adjudication in Houston!

I have had a few calls regarding the title of this blog recently and so I want to address the issue here.  If you have been convicted with drunk driving, DWI or DUI in the state of Texas in the last ten years even though you believe that you received  a deferred adjudication you did not.  While it seems hard to believe that you could receive a deferred adjudication for something as serious as sexual assault, a DWI charge is one of the handful of crimes that this is specifically not  eligible for deferred adjudication.  Therefore, your driving while intoxicated  (DWI) case is not eligible for a motion for non disclosure (allowing the sealing of your criminal history) because it was never a deferred adjudication.

Actually, I DID recieve deferred adjudication in 2007 for my felony DWI/DUI. It was under a legal loophole that district attorney found and I just completed it. I have my letter of 'no adjudication of guilt' criminal record shows deferred, but is currently being updated to reflect discharged. Was on DA for 2 years.

When they included the law to show that DWI/DUI could not get deferred adjudication, they did not include the sub-sections of driving with a child under 15yoa and operating an amusement park ride. So they were able to offer it. 3 months later, the law changed to include those. The District attorney new this was going to change soon, and that is how they were aware that it could be offered legally, though they didn't like to do so. Because of the circumstances surrounding my DWI and because of clean record, they offered it to me.
