Attorney-drafted petitions
Starting at $795
Full-service law firms charge thousands because they bundle petition preparation with courtroom representation. Most eligible expunctions never require that. We handle the drafting and filing, and if a hearing is set, you appear yourself — often by Zoom, from wherever you are. Same process, far lower cost.
Brownsville is the largest city in Cameron County and the southernmost major city in Texas, situated at the southern tip of the Rio Grande Valley. Cameron County encompasses Brownsville, Harlingen, McAllen (southern portions), South Padre Island, and communities along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Cameron County is home to the Port of Brownsville, SpaceX's Starbase facility, and a growing aerospace and manufacturing sector. Cameron County District Courts are located at the Cameron County Courthouse in Brownsville. Expunction and non-disclosure petitions are filed with the Cameron County District Clerk and served on the arresting agency, Cameron County Sheriff's Office, and Texas DPS.
Brownsville and Cameron County residents who work in the aerospace, port, international trade, or federal government sectors often face strict background check requirements. A past arrest can prevent employment, security clearance, or licensing in these industries. SpaceX Starbase has brought new employment opportunities to Cameron County — but also heightened background check scrutiny.
Expunction360 serves Cameron County clients in both English and Spanish. Affordable access to record-clearing services matters in South Texas.

Cameron County has approximately 425,000 residents and forms part of the Brownsville–Harlingen metro area. The Cameron County criminal docket is fed primarily by the Brownsville Police Department and the Cameron County Sheriff's Office, and the cases that wind up needing expunction are typically DWI, theft, possession of marijuana, immigration-adjacent offenses, and family-violence assault from Brownsville PD or sheriff arrests.
Cameron County criminal district courts sit at the Judicial Center downtown, with the district clerk handling expunction filings. Expunction petitions under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 55A — which replaced Chapter 55 on January 1, 2025 — are filed with the Cameron County District Clerk at the Cameron County Judicial Center, 974 E. Harrison St., Brownsville, TX 78520. The county filing fee is $450 across Texas; what varies is how each district clerk handles service of the signed order on the named agencies.
The Brownsville economy is built around bi-national logistics, manufacturing across the Matamoros border, SpaceX at Boca Chica, and healthcare, and most of those employers run third-party background checks that pull data from private vendors as well as DPS. That is why every expunction petition we file lists not just the obvious agencies — DPS, the arresting agency, the district attorney, the district clerk — but also the specific third-party vendors that historically pulled the underlying record. Skipping a vendor is the single most common reason an "expunged" record still surfaces on a job or apartment application.
Cameron County serves a large Spanish-speaking population — Expunction360 handles bilingual intake and prepares Spanish-language summaries when requested.
Brownsville arrests are filed in Brownsville with the Cameron County District Clerk at the Cameron County Judicial Center, 974 E. Harrison St., Brownsville, TX 78520. Even if you were arrested in Brownsville, the petition must be filed in the county where the case was originally heard — Cameron County — not in a city court.
The Cameron County filing fee is $450 — same as every Texas county. Expunction360's flat service fee is $795 (Saver) or $995 (Expedited), which covers attorney-drafted petition preparation, e-filing, and service on every named agency. Local attorneys typically charge $1,500–$3,000 in addition to the same $450 filing fee.
It shouldn't — but only if every agency that ever held the record is named in the petition and served with a certified copy of the signed order. That includes the Brownsville Police Department, the Cameron County Sheriff's Office, the Texas DPS, the district clerk, and any private background-check vendor that pulled it. Expunction360's process verifies the service list before filing, which is the single biggest reason petitions hold up downstream.
No. As long as the arrest happened in Cameron County, we can file the expunction whether you currently live in Brownsville, elsewhere in Texas, or out of state. The entire process — eligibility check, petition preparation, e-filing, agency service — is handled remotely.
