Getting your record expunged is not a matter of right, but rather a discretionary determination by the appropriate governing body.  In Texas it depends on many factors and can be a complicated matter.  Certainly one that should be handled by an attorney.  However, if you want to look at the governing statute for yourself go to Chapter55 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure.

As you can see it is quite involved.  Your best bet it, if you do not already have one, is to have a criminal lawyer look into this for you.  If you need help finding one try www.AttorneyPages.com
