Attorney-drafted petitions
Starting at $1,395
Expunction360 is a Texas law firm. Many firms bill hourly and charge $1,500–$3,500 or more for an expunction. We handle expunctions and nondisclosures on a flat fee — $1,395–$2,000 — with no hourly surprises. Your attorney reviews eligibility, drafts and files the petition, serves every required agency, and represents you at the hearing if the court sets one.
San Antonio is the second-largest city in Texas and the anchor of Bexar County (pronounced "Bear County"), which is home to approximately 2.1 million residents. San Antonio is one of the fastest-growing major cities in the United States, with a booming healthcare, cybersecurity, military, and tourism economy.
Bexar County criminal courts are located at the Paul Elizondo Tower in downtown San Antonio. The Bexar County District Clerk's office handles expunction and non-disclosure filings, which are served on SAPD, the Bexar County Sheriff's Office, and the Texas DPS.
San Antonio has a major military presence — Joint Base San Antonio, including Fort Sam Houston, Lackland AFB, and Randolph AFB — as well as a thriving healthcare sector centered on the South Texas Medical Center. Security clearances and healthcare licensing both trigger background checks. An arrest record — even without a conviction — can derail a military career or professional license application.
Expunction360 prepares all Bexar County expunction documents in both English and Spanish. San Antonio's community deserves affordable, accessible record-clearing services.

Bexar County has more than 2 million residents and is the fourth-most populous county in Texas. The Bexar County criminal docket is fed primarily by the San Antonio Police Department (SAPD) and the Bexar County Sheriff's Office, and the cases that wind up needing expunction are typically DWI, family-violence assault, theft, possession of controlled substance, and trespass cases from SAPD arrests.
Expunction petitions under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 55A — which replaced Chapter 55 on January 1, 2025 — are filed with the Bexar County District Clerk's Civil Filing department, whose main office is in the Paul Elizondo Tower, 101 W. Nueva, Suite 217, San Antonio, TX 78205. Expunctions are heard on the Civil District Courts' expunction docket at the Bexar County Courthouse, 100 Dolorosa. New suits must be filed electronically; counter filing is reserved for emergencies and people filing without a lawyer. The clerk's 2026 fee schedule lists $350 for an expunction suit plus $25 per agency. Sources: Bexar County District Clerk, Bexar County Civil District Courts.
The San Antonio economy is built around military (Joint Base San Antonio), healthcare, tourism and hospitality, and cybersecurity, 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.
Because Bexar County routes expunctions through a dedicated civil docket, the petition, the proposed order and the agency list need to be complete at filing. The district clerk publishes a list of suggested expunction agencies as a starting point.
San Antonio arrests are filed in San Antonio with the Bexar County District Clerk at the Bexar County Justice Center, 300 Dolorosa St., San Antonio, TX 78205. Even if you were arrested in San Antonio, the petition must be filed in the county where the case was originally heard — Bexar County — not in a city court.
Bexar County court costs start with the district clerk's $350 filing fee, plus a notice fee for each agency that cannot be served electronically. Expunction360's flat service fee is $1,395 (Saver) or $2,000 (Expedited), which covers attorney-drafted petition preparation, e-filing, and service on every named agency. Firms that bill hourly typically charge $1,500–$3,000 plus the same court costs.
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 San Antonio Police Department (SAPD), the Bexar 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 Bexar County, we can file the expunction whether you currently live in San Antonio, elsewhere in Texas, or out of state. The entire process — eligibility check, petition preparation, e-filing, agency service — is handled remotely.
We run a secure background verification at zero cost. No guesswork, no hidden fees. We 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 55A. Once distribution is complete, you can legally answer "No" to prior arrests and take back the life you deserve.
Court costs are a flat $450 per case, in addition to the fee above. They do not apply if you qualify for a court fee waiver.
