Criminal Record
More than a conviction, it’s a life sentence
Even without a conviction, a Texas criminal record can dramatically and negatively reshape your life. It’s more than a blot on your record—it’s a domino effect that may upset your life in ways you hadn’t imagined:
Employment
Many employers may hesitate to hire you, regardless of your qualifications.
Child Adoption
The dream of adopting a child may become overly complex or impossible.
Owning Firearms
Your right to possess firearms could be denied indefinitely.
Severe Penalties
Any subsequent offenses can trigger significantly harsher penalties.
Healthcare License
With a record, you may find yourself barred from obtaining a healthcare license, such as a nurse license — even a misdemeanor conviction can block your path.
Child Custody
Your chances to secure or maintain custody of your children could be at risk.
Driving Privileges
Your driving freedom could be removed, hindering mobility.
Immigration Status
Your immigration status may be endangered, potentially leading to deportation.
College Admission
Your aspirations for higher education might be cut short as institutions may reject your application.
Housing Opportunities
Prospective landlords may turn you away, and searching for a home can be incredibly challenging.
