Relating to the date on which certain persons placed on deferred adjudication community supervision are eligible to file a petition for an order of nondisclosure of criminal history record information.

HB 858 changes the waiting period for certain people on deferred adjudication community supervision to petition for sealing their criminal records. It allows immediate eligibility after discharge for most misdemeanors, a one-year wait for specific misdemeanors (like those in Penal Code Chapters 20-22, 42-46) or state jail felonies, and a three-year wait for other felonies. This bill directly affects Texas residents convicted of eligible offenses who are on deferred adjudication. The changes take effect September 1, 2025. The bill modifies existing eligibility timelines under Section 411.0725 of the Government Code.
