Attorney-drafted petitions
Starting at $1,395
Expunction360 is a Texas law firm. Many firms bill hourly and charge $1,500–$3,500 or more for an expunction. We handle expunctions and nondisclosures on a flat fee — $1,395–$2,000 — with no hourly surprises. Your attorney reviews eligibility, drafts and files the petition, serves every required agency, and represents you at the hearing if the court sets one.
Corpus Christi is the anchor of Nueces County — a coastal Texas city of roughly 320,000 known for its port, military presence, petrochemical industry, and growing tourism economy. Nueces County encompasses Corpus Christi, Portland, Robstown, and surrounding coastal communities.
Nueces County District Courts are housed at the Nueces County Courthouse in downtown Corpus Christi. Expunction and non-disclosure petitions are filed with the Nueces County District Clerk and served on CCPD, the Nueces County Sheriff's Office, and Texas DPS.
Corpus Christi's major employers include Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, the Port of Corpus Christi (one of the nation's busiest export ports), refineries and petrochemical plants along the La Quinta Ship Channel, and a growing LNG export industry. Workers in all of these sectors face background checks — and TWIC (Transportation Worker Identification Credential) cards are required for port and facility access throughout the area.
An arrest record can prevent Corpus Christi workers from obtaining or renewing a TWIC card, security clearance, or professional license. Expunction360 helps Nueces County residents clear eligible arrests so they can protect their livelihoods.

Nueces County has approximately 350,000 residents and is the largest coastal-bend county in South Texas. The Nueces County criminal docket is fed primarily by the Corpus Christi Police Department and the Nueces County Sheriff's Office, and the cases that wind up needing expunction are typically DWI, public intoxication, possession of marijuana, theft, and offenses tied to South Padre Island spring-break weekends.
Expunction petitions under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 55A — which replaced Chapter 55 on January 1, 2025 — are filed with the Nueces County District Clerk at the Nueces County Courthouse, 901 Leopard St., 3rd Floor, Room 313, Corpus Christi, TX 78401. The statewide filing fee for an expunction petition is $350, plus a notice fee for each agency that cannot be served electronically; the clerk publishes an email list of agencies for expunction notices. The office is open to the public Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and closed to the public on Fridays. Sources: Nueces County District Clerk.
The Corpus Christi economy is built around petrochemicals and refining, the Port of Corpus Christi, military (NAS Corpus Christi), and tourism, 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.
Nueces County is generally cooperative on uncontested expunction orders, but agencies including TABC and CCPD must be served by certified mail with a current address on file.
Corpus Christi arrests are filed in Corpus Christi with the Nueces County District Clerk at the Nueces County Courthouse, 901 Leopard St., Corpus Christi, TX 78401. Even if you were arrested in Corpus Christi, the petition must be filed in the county where the case was originally heard — Nueces County — not in a city court.
Nueces County court costs start with the district clerk's $350 filing fee, plus a notice fee for each agency that cannot be served electronically. Expunction360's flat service fee is $1,395 (Saver) or $2,000 (Expedited), which covers attorney-drafted petition preparation, e-filing, and service on every named agency. Firms that bill hourly typically charge $1,500–$3,000 plus the same court costs.
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 Corpus Christi Police Department, the Nueces 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 Nueces County, we can file the expunction whether you currently live in Corpus Christi, elsewhere in Texas, or out of state. The entire process — eligibility check, petition preparation, e-filing, agency service — is handled remotely.
We run a secure background verification at zero cost. No guesswork, no hidden fees. We tell you exactly what's clearable before you commit to anything.
Your petition is personally prepared and filed by an experienced Texas attorney — no templates, no shortcuts. Done correctly the first time, and backed by our 100% Money-Back Guarantee if your record isn't cleared.
The judge signs the order, and the court clerk distributes certified copies to the agencies named in your petition under Texas CCP Chapter 55A. Once distribution is complete, you can legally answer "No" to prior arrests and take back the life you deserve.
Court costs are a flat $450 per case, in addition to the fee above. They do not apply if you qualify for a court fee waiver.
