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.
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.
Bexar County criminal district courts sit at the Bexar County Justice Center, with the district clerk handling expunction filings on the second floor. 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 at the Bexar County Justice Center, 300 Dolorosa St., San Antonio, TX 78205. 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 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.
Bexar County allows in-person walk-in filings at the Justice Center, which is sometimes faster than e-filing — but every served agency still needs to receive a certified copy by mail within 30 days.
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.
The Bexar 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 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.
