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.
Denton County anchors the northwest corner of the DFW Metroplex, with its county seat in the City of Denton. Home to the University of North Texas (UNT) and Texas Woman's University (TWU), Denton has a large student and young adult population — and the county has seen significant growth along the I-35 corridor, with cities like Lewisville, Flower Mound, Little Elm, Frisco (northern portion), and The Colony all within its boundaries.
Denton County District Courts are located at the Denton County Courts Building in Denton. Expunction and non-disclosure petitions for arrests in Denton, Lewisville, Flower Mound, Carrollton (Denton County portions), and other cities are filed with the Denton County District Clerk and served on the arresting agency, the Denton County Sheriff's Office, and the Texas DPS.
University students and recent graduates in Denton County are some of the most common candidates for expungement — especially for possession charges, minor in possession (MIP), or alcohol-related offenses that occurred during college years. These arrests can prevent entry into graduate school, professional licensing, or quality employment long after the person has moved on with their life.
Expunction360 handles all Denton County filings from document preparation through final order — no courthouse trips required on your part.

Denton County has more than 1 million residents and is among the fastest-growing in Texas. The Denton County criminal docket is fed primarily by the Denton Police Department and the Denton County Sheriff's Office, and the cases that wind up needing expunction are typically DWI, minor in possession (MIP) and other alcohol-related college-town offenses, possession of marijuana, and theft.
Denton County criminal district courts sit at the Carolyn G. Bush Courts Building, 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 Denton County District Clerk at the Carolyn G. Bush Courts Building, 1450 E. McKinney St., Denton, TX 76209. 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 Denton economy is built around higher education (University of North Texas, Texas Woman's University), distribution, and a fast-growing residential corridor north of DFW, 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.
Denton's two-university footprint produces a high volume of MIP and PCS Class C cases — many are eligible for expunction once the deferred-disposition period is complete.
Denton arrests are filed in Denton with the Denton County District Clerk at the Carolyn G. Bush Courts Building, 1450 E. McKinney St., Denton, TX 76209. Even if you were arrested in Denton, the petition must be filed in the county where the case was originally heard — Denton County — not in a city court.
The Denton 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 Denton Police Department, the Denton 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 Denton County, we can file the expunction whether you currently live in Denton, elsewhere in Texas, or out of state. The entire process — eligibility check, petition preparation, e-filing, agency service — is handled remotely.
