Expunge your record in Comal County
Clearing a Comal County arrest means working with the courts in New Braunfels and serving every local agency that holds your records. Here's how it works locally — and how we handle it for you.
The courts in Comal County
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 eligibility rules are statewide: arrests that ended in dismissal, acquittal, a grand jury no-bill, or no charges at all can generally be expunged, while completed deferred adjudication and certain convictions can be sealed with an order of nondisclosure. What's local is everything else — the courts, the agency list, the DA's review practices, and the timeline.
