Your crime may not qualify for expungement, which is why it may have been denied, or it could be as simple as it was too early to apply. Either way, sounds like you went about it alone. You need a criminal defense attorney to help you through this.
Here are expungement laws in your state:

Here is www.attorneypages.com where you can find a criminal defense attorney in Texas. Also check with the Texas State Bar.
