Expunge your record in El Paso County
Clearing a El Paso County arrest means working with the courts in El Paso and serving every local agency that holds your records. Here's how it works locally — and how we handle it for you.
The courts in El Paso County
El Paso County expunctions are filed in the district courts at the Enrique Moreno County Courthouse in downtown El Paso. Felonies run through the district courts and misdemeanors through the County Criminal Courts at Law.
Typical records holders are the El Paso Police Department, the county Sheriff's Office, the clerks, and DPS — with Fort Bliss making military-related records questions a regular feature of El Paso practice.
Local practice notes
El Paso's employment market leans heavily on government, military, healthcare, and cross-border logistics — all sectors that screen records carefully. Service members and their families at Fort Bliss frequently need Texas records cleared for clearances and reenlistment. The county has also used diversion programs whose dismissals create expunction eligibility; timelines in the district courts are generally moderate compared to the state's largest counties.
What can be cleared
The eligibility rules are statewide: arrests that ended in dismissal, acquittal, a grand jury no-bill, or no charges at all can generally be expunged, while completed deferred adjudication and certain convictions can be sealed with an order of nondisclosure. What's local is everything else — the courts, the agency list, the DA's review practices, and the timeline.
