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.
El Paso is the sixth-largest city in Texas and the anchor of a 2.5 million-person binational metro area on the U.S.-Mexico border. El Paso County encompasses the city of El Paso as well as smaller communities to the east. Fort Bliss — one of the largest military installations in the world — sits adjacent to El Paso and is a major driver of the local economy.
El Paso County District Courts are located at the El Paso County Courthouse downtown. Expunction and non-disclosure petitions are filed with the El Paso County District Clerk and served on EPPD, the El Paso County Sheriff's Office, Texas DPS, and other named agencies.
El Paso's military population, federal government contractors, and border security workforce all face strict background check requirements. A past arrest — even one that was dismissed or acquitted — can jeopardize a security clearance, a federal contracting position, or an application to work with Customs and Border Protection, TSA, or other agencies. Border task force history can create complex record issues that Expunction360 has experience navigating.
We help El Paso residents in all situations — veterans, federal workers, students at UTEP, and families — navigate the expunction process affordably.

El Paso County has approximately 865,000 residents and is the sixth-most populous county in Texas. The El Paso County criminal docket is fed primarily by the El Paso Police Department and the El Paso County Sheriff's Office, and the cases that wind up needing expunction are typically DWI, possession of marijuana, theft, family-violence assault, and immigration-adjacent offenses from EPPD or sheriff arrests.
El Paso County criminal district courts sit at the County Courthouse 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 El Paso County District Clerk at the El Paso County Courthouse, 500 E. San Antonio Ave., El Paso, TX 79901. 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 El Paso economy is built around Fort Bliss (military), bi-national logistics, healthcare, and manufacturing across the border, 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.
El Paso County frequently sees arrests where the defendant has since relocated — an expunction can be filed and processed remotely without returning to El Paso.
El Paso arrests are filed in El Paso with the El Paso County District Clerk at the El Paso County Courthouse, 500 E. San Antonio Ave., El Paso, TX 79901. Even if you were arrested in El Paso, the petition must be filed in the county where the case was originally heard — El Paso County — not in a city court.
The El Paso 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 El Paso Police Department, the El Paso 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 El Paso County, we can file the expunction whether you currently live in El Paso, elsewhere in Texas, or out of state. The entire process — eligibility check, petition preparation, e-filing, agency service — is handled remotely.
