Where New Braunfels cases get cleared
Expunctions and nondisclosure petitions aren't filed at city hall — they're filed in the courts of the county where the arrest happened. For most of New Braunfels, that means Comal County (parts of New Braunfels extend into Guadalupe County — the county of arrest controls, and we confirm it from your records). The New Braunfels Police Department, the county sheriff, the clerks, and the Texas DPS all hold pieces of your record, and each must be named in the petition for the order to erase it everywhere.
Clearing a Comal County record starts with a petition in the district court that serves the county, filed at the courthouse in New Braunfels. Filing happens at the county seat regardless of where in the county the arrest occurred.
Records of a Comal County arrest live in several places at once — the Sheriff's Office, any city police department involved, the clerks' offices in New Braunfels, and DPS's statewide database — and the petition must list them all so the order clears each one.
Local practice notes
As one of the state's larger counties, Comal County runs a busy docket, and expunction settings take longer than in rural Texas — precise drafting avoids the resets that stretch timelines further. The Hill Country's tourism and hospitality economy draws weekend visitors by the thousands — and a share of them leave with citations or arrests that follow them home until cleared. Local employers in healthcare and education screen carefully as well.
What can be cleared
The rules are statewide: arrests that ended in dismissal, acquittal, a grand-jury no-bill, or no charges at all can generally be expunged — erased completely. Completed deferred adjudication and certain first-time convictions (including many DWIs) can be sealed with an order of nondisclosure. Not sure which describes your New Braunfels case?
