Getting this done in TX doesn't seem to be as easy as some of these other states - their forms look like lawsuits. I qualified because I had completed deferred adjudication probation, and not got into trouble for 5 years. There isn't a time limit on when I can get it taken care of, I just couldn't have got into trouble for the 5 years after probation. I did quite a bit of homework, and its not really that easy in Texas - maybe in other places.
The other places I called wanted more money and these guys gave me a guarantee...if I get it sealed, count me happy to spend the cash. Just go to the TX State website and take a look - its definitely not as easy as taking a form to a courthouse. It looks like the states are all over the place with cost (filing fees in Texas are over $300 alone) and what you can get rid of and how hard it is. If you guys have the time and knowledge to do it yourself, I'd do that, I just don't! I'm happy to just put this crap behind me and move on. The knowledge about what disqualifies HazMat has been really helpful though - not sure I actually needed to do this for it. Still happy its gonna be gone though! -

In utah, it's just one page to fill out. But that's for misdemeanors. I've never had any felonies so i can't detail that process.
I had a pot possesion in 86. Timeframe of 7 years.
Dui in 94. Timeframe 10 years.
False Dui drugs in 04. Immediately. It was dismissed before it went to court. BUT, i still had to do the expungement BS. -
Here's a suggestion, research the actual rate of success from the law firm and from the state itself. Typically to get an expungement or pardon, you will have to get a letter from the Gov..

They should be able to tell you their success rate, the law firm that I am working with for my federal pardon was very upfront on their success rate in the past, even giving me names of a couple of people they had helped.

Technically, by law, it is supposed to work-- but it isn't fool proof.18_wheelsofsteel and austinmike Thank this. -
Full pardon is the only way I know of. Many hoops and roadblocks. Then it's up to who is in office at the time

3 felonies did not prevent me from getting hazmat endorsement. you can be a murderer or rapist or drug dealer and get your hazmat endorsement. however if you were caught illegally transporting a truckload of car batteries or an unmarked container of flammable liquid to a recycling center without placards, you might have a hard time getting the waiver.Last edited by a moderator: Feb 5, 2016
