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.
Killeen is the largest city in Bell County and sits adjacent to Fort Cavazos (formerly Fort Hood) — one of the largest U.S. military installations in the world. Bell County encompasses Killeen, Temple, Belton (the county seat), Harker Heights, Copperas Cove (Coryell County border), and Waco's southern suburbs.
Bell County District Courts are located at the Bell County Courthouse in Belton. Expunction and non-disclosure petitions for Killeen, Temple, and other Bell County communities are filed with the Bell County District Clerk and served on the arresting agency, Bell County Sheriff's Office, and Texas DPS.
Bell County's economy is dominated by Fort Cavazos and the healthcare sector anchored by Baylor Scott & White in Temple. Service members, veterans, and military contractors face strict background check requirements — and a past arrest, even one that never led to conviction, can affect security clearances, military careers, and civilian employment transitions. Temple's healthcare industry also requires background checks for clinical and administrative roles.
Expunction360 proudly serves the Killeen and Fort Cavazos community. We understand the unique pressures military families face and offer flat-fee, transparent pricing that works for military budgets.

Bell County has approximately 400,000 residents and is anchored by Fort Cavazos, one of the largest active-duty military installations in the country. The Bell County criminal docket is fed primarily by the Killeen Police Department and the Bell County Sheriff's Department, and the cases that wind up needing expunction are typically DWI, family-violence assault, theft, and offenses tied to soldiers and veterans cycling through the Fort Cavazos area.
Bell County criminal district courts sit at the Bell County Justice Complex in Belton, the county seat — Killeen arrests are filed in Belton. Expunction petitions under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 55A — which replaced Chapter 55 on January 1, 2025 — are filed with the Bell County District Clerk at the Bell County Justice Complex, 1201 Huey Rd., Belton, TX 76513. 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 Killeen economy is built around Fort Cavazos (formerly Fort Hood) and the surrounding military economy, healthcare, and retail, 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.
Killeen's military population creates urgency around expunctions — security clearance reinvestigations and re-enlistment can hinge on a clean record, and Bell County is generally efficient at signing uncontested orders.
Killeen arrests are filed in Belton (the county seat) with the Bell County District Clerk at the Bell County Justice Complex, 1201 Huey Rd., Belton, TX 76513. Even if you were arrested in Killeen, the petition must be filed in the county where the case was originally heard — Bell County — not in a city court.
The Bell 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 Killeen Police Department, the Bell 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 Bell County, we can file the expunction whether you currently live in Killeen, elsewhere in Texas, or out of state. The entire process — eligibility check, petition preparation, e-filing, agency service — is handled remotely.
