A petitioner cannot have a prior ADJUDICATION OF GUILT on his/her criminal record. This includes the charge the petitioner is seeking to have sealed/expunged as well as any other prior criminal charge. If a petitioner has ever been adjudicated guilty of any offense – including many criminal traffic offenses (i.e. DUI, DWLS), then the petitioner is INELIGIBLE to ever apply to have a record sealed or expunged.!
