Where Schertz 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 Schertz, that means Bexar County (parts of Schertz extend into Guadalupe County, Comal County — the county of arrest controls, and we confirm it from your records). The Schertz 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.
Bexar County expunctions are filed in the district courts in downtown San Antonio, where criminal matters are centered at the Cadena-Reeves Justice Center. Felonies are heard in the criminal district courts and misdemeanors in the County Courts at Law.
San Antonio's principal records holders are SAPD and the Bexar County Sheriff's Office, alongside the district and county clerks, the DA's office, and DPS — plus suburban agencies for arrests outside the city.
Local practice notes
Bexar County has embraced cite-and-release for certain low-level offenses (including small-amount marijuana possession) and operates substantial pretrial diversion programming through the DA's office. Both paths routinely end without conviction, leaving records that qualify for expunction. San Antonio's military community is also worth noting: service members and veterans often need records cleared quickly for security clearance reviews, and we prioritize accordingly.
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 Schertz case?
