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.
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.
Nueces County criminal district courts sit at the Nueces County Courthouse downtown, with the district clerk handling expunction intake. 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., Corpus Christi, TX 78401. 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 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.
The Nueces 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 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.
