"Dismissal without prejudice" is usually a judgment heard in criminal court, and means that a case is dismissed but CAN be reinstituted at a later time. If by "petition" you are referring to a "motion" before the court, it depends on whose motion it is. If it is your motion, simply ask to withdraw it. If it is the other party's motion, you can offer your testimony as to why it shouldn't be granted, but that is all you can do and the judge will decide how to rule.

At what point can a forgery charge and arrest be expunged that has been dismissed in Texas?

It may depend on HOW it was dismissed. WITH prejudice or WITHOUT prejudice? Once you answer that question you can refer to the folloing general guidelines; To request the expungement of an offense from your STATE (not Federal) criminal record: You must have either been exonerated, acquited, or served the complete term of your sentence - then file a petition/motion with the court setting forth valid reason(s) why your request should be granted. A judge will review your petition and the circumstances of your case and issue a ruling either granting or denying the request. AN EXPUNGEMENT IS NOT A PARDON! Expungement only removes the record of your offense from being available to the public. Law enforcement, the courts, and government agencies will always have access to your actual 'true' record.
