HB 2328 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the procedures for the expunction of arrest records and files; authorizing a fee.

HB 2328 streamlines the process for individuals seeking to clear arrest records (expunction) in Texas. It requires petitioners to provide specific details like full name, arrest date, and a comprehensive list of all law enforcement agencies and databases holding their records. The bill authorizes a fee for processing expunction requests and mandates a minimum 30-day waiting period before a court can schedule a hearing. This bill directly affects people eligible for expunction under current law, primarily those with dismissed charges or acquittals, by standardizing the documentation and procedural requirements.
