How to get help
Launch the guided form, complete the petition and proposed order, obtain a complete fingerprint card, collect any required conviction or registration evidence, file in the county of residence with a fee-waiver statement if eligible, follow local background-check and hearing procedures, and obtain certified copies of any signed and filed order.
Who this service helps
The toolkit is for a person at least 18 years old filing in the Texas county where the person lives. Felony convictions, sex-offender registration, or other criminal-history circumstances require specified proof and can limit or affect eligibility.
