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.
Dallas County is the second-most populous county in Texas, with over 2.6 million residents spanning Dallas, Garland, Irving, Mesquite, and dozens of surrounding communities. The Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex is home to more Fortune 500 company headquarters than any other U.S. metro area outside New York City.
Dallas County criminal courts are located at the George L. Allen Sr. Courts Building in downtown Dallas. Expunction and non-disclosure petitions are filed with the Dallas County District Clerk and served on all arresting agencies — including the Dallas Police Department, Dallas County Sheriff, and Texas DPS.
Dallas is a major hub for finance, technology, healthcare, and logistics — industries where background checks are routine. An arrest record can prevent you from getting hired at one of the countless major employers in the DFW area. Expunction360 helps Dallas County residents remove those barriers.
We prepare and organize all documentation required under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 55 — you review and sign, and we coordinate the rest.
If you want to try filing it yourself, our full pro-se walkthroughs show every form, every agency, and every landmine — so you know exactly what you’re walking into.

Dallas County has over 2.6 million residents — the second-largest county in Texas. The Dallas County criminal docket is fed primarily by the Dallas Police Department and the Dallas County Sheriff's Department, and the cases that wind up needing expunction are typically DWI, theft, possession of controlled substance (PCS) cases, family-violence assault, and class-A misdemeanors out of Dallas PD or DSO.
Dallas County criminal district courts sit at the Frank Crowley Courts Building, with felony filings routed through the criminal district clerk's intake. Expunction petitions under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 55A — which replaced Chapter 55 on January 1, 2025 — are filed with the Dallas County District Clerk at the Frank Crowley Courts Building, 133 N. Riverfront Blvd., Dallas, TX 75207. 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 Dallas economy is built around banking and finance (downtown), telecom, healthcare, and a dense corporate hiring market, 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.
Dallas County uses a centralized e-filing intake at Frank Crowley, and the district clerk's expunction unit will reject petitions that fail to list private background-check vendors that historically pulled the underlying arrest.
Dallas arrests are filed in Dallas with the Dallas County District Clerk at the Frank Crowley Courts Building, 133 N. Riverfront Blvd., Dallas, TX 75207. Even if you were arrested in Dallas, the petition must be filed in the county where the case was originally heard — Dallas County — not in a city court.
The Dallas 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 Dallas Police Department, the Dallas County Sheriff's Department, 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 Dallas County, we can file the expunction whether you currently live in Dallas, elsewhere in Texas, or out of state. The entire process — eligibility check, petition preparation, e-filing, agency service — is handled remotely.
