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:

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.
