Relating to the expunction of arrest records and files and the issuance of orders of nondisclosure of criminal history record information for certain persons.

HB 4733 modifies Texas law to clarify when arrest records can be expunged or nondisclosure orders issued. It blocks expungement for acquitted arrests if the person was convicted of another offense in the same criminal episode. The bill requires courts issuing nondisclosure orders to automatically include related, unconvicted offenses from the same incident, provided those offenses aren’t pending or involve community supervision. It also adjusts timelines for petitioning after completing community supervision, with different deadlines based on offense severity. This affects individuals seeking to clear arrest records after acquittal or community supervision completion.
