Relating to the expunction of records and files related to certain conduct or offenses committed by a child.
SB 433 allows individuals who were adjudicated for misdemeanor offenses as minors to apply to have those juvenile records expunged after turning 18. The bill requires juvenile courts to issue an expunction order within 30 days of receiving a valid application. It specifically applies to misdemeanor offenses committed during childhood but excludes other juvenile records not covered under this provision. The Texas Juvenile Justice Department must establish the application process by September 1, 2025, when the law takes effect.
