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.
Plano is the largest city in Collin County and one of the most affluent cities in the United States. Collin County, with its county seat in McKinney, is one of the fastest-growing counties in the country — home to major corporate headquarters including Toyota North America, FedEx Office, Liberty Mutual, Frito-Lay, and J.C. Penney.
Collin County District Courts are located at the Collin County Courthouse in McKinney. Expunction and non-disclosure petitions for arrests in Plano, Allen, Frisco, McKinney, Richardson, and other Collin County cities are filed with the Collin County District Clerk and served on the arresting agency (e.g., Plano PD, Allen PD, Frisco PD), the Collin County Sheriff's Office, and the Texas DPS.
Plano and Collin County attract corporate professionals, technology workers, and entrepreneurs who undergo rigorous background checks for employment, licensing, and vendor agreements. A past arrest — even for a misdemeanor or dismissed charge — can cost you a position at one of the many Fortune 500 companies headquartered here.
Expunction360 prepares all required Collin County expunction documents so you don't have to navigate the McKinney courthouse yourself.

Collin County has more than 1.2 million residents and is one of the fastest-growing counties in the nation. The Collin County criminal docket is fed primarily by the Plano Police Department and the Collin County Sheriff's Office, and the cases that wind up needing expunction are typically DWI, theft, possession of marijuana, family-violence assault, and corporate-context cases like embezzlement from Plano PD bookings.
Collin County criminal district courts sit at the Collin County Courthouse in McKinney, the county seat — Plano arrests are filed in McKinney, not Plano. Expunction petitions under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 55A — which replaced Chapter 55 on January 1, 2025 — are filed with the Collin County District Clerk at the Collin County Courthouse, 2100 Bloomdale Rd., McKinney, TX 75071. 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 Plano economy is built around tech and corporate HQs (Toyota North America, Liberty Mutual, Ericsson), financial services, and healthcare, 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.
Plano residents often forget that their case lives in McKinney — the Collin County Courthouse, not anything in Plano itself, is where the expunction is filed.
Plano arrests are filed in McKinney (the county seat) with the Collin County District Clerk at the Collin County Courthouse, 2100 Bloomdale Rd., McKinney, TX 75071. Even if you were arrested in Plano, the petition must be filed in the county where the case was originally heard — Collin County — not in a city court.
The Collin 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 Plano Police Department, the Collin 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 Collin County, we can file the expunction whether you currently live in Plano, elsewhere in Texas, or out of state. The entire process — eligibility check, petition preparation, e-filing, agency service — is handled remotely.
I run a secure background verification at zero cost. No guesswork, no hidden fees. I tell you exactly what's clearable before you commit to anything.
Your petition is personally prepared and filed by an experienced Texas attorney — no templates, no shortcuts. Done correctly the first time, and backed by our 100% Money-Back Guarantee if your record isn't cleared.
The judge signs the order, and the court clerk distributes certified copies to the agencies named in your petition under Texas CCP Chapter 55. Once distribution is complete, you can legally answer "No" to prior arrests and take back the life you deserve.
