The state of Tennessee grants individuals the opportunity to remove criminal offenses from their records when they have no other prior convictions. However, only certain charges are eligible to be expunged in Tennessee. If your only criminal conviction is the one that you are trying to expunge and you were convicted of a misdemeanor or a low-class felony, you may be able to have your charge removed for good. However, most felonies and violent crimes are not eligible for expungement.
