Nondisclosure Order Section 411.072 Guided Form
TexasLawHelp.org
Free guided form for preparing a request under Texas Government Code Section 411.072 when an eligible first-time misdemeanor deferred-adjudication record was not automatically sealed.
How to get help
First use the nondisclosure eligibility guide or Fresh Start to confirm the correct statute, gather the deferred-adjudication and discharge records, launch the guided form, complete the letter and proposed order, submit them to the court that handled the case after the required period, and pay the required fee or submit a fee-waiver statement.
Who this service helps
The public instructions require a qualifying misdemeanor deferred adjudication, no disqualifying history or finding, discharge and dismissal on or after September 1, 2017, at least 180 days on deferred adjudication, and first-offender status apart from fine-only traffic offenses.
Where this service is available
Service area: People handling eligible Texas legal matters, including residents and court users in Central Texas.
A service area describes where help is offered or who may be served. It is not necessarily the organization’s physical location.
Cost / fees
The guided form is free. The published Section 411.072 instructions identify a $28 court fee or a Statement of Inability to Afford Payment of Court Costs; confirm the current amount and any records or copying costs with the court.
About this service
The tool supports the statutory automatic-nondisclosure letter and proposed order process for the narrow Section 411.072 category rather than the petition procedures used for other nondisclosure statutes.
