BUTTS, Justice,
concurring.
I concur.
Had the county attorney of Menard County participated in the hearing and the order so reflected, the appellant Texas Department of Public Safety would have also participated through its representation by the county attorney. Thus the Department of Public Safety would have been precluded from bringing this appeal by way of writ of error. TEX.R.APP.P. 45(b).
*759The handwritten note appears to have been written by the trial judge (county attorney notified court [he] agreed with request). The initialed signature following the note appears to be that of the trial judge. The record clearly reflects that although the county attorney did not oppose the request, he did not participate in the proceeding. Therefore, I concur in the order setting aside the order of expunction. This court’s disposition of the order does not serve as a bar to a future expunction petition.
