How long will a misdemeanor possession charge stay on your record in Texas?

Answer 1

AnswerLike previous entrants, a misdemeanor conviction (above the grade of Class C) will stay on your criminal record forever. A defendant has the recourse of getting their record expunged; however, for the ardent background searcher, a conviction will never FULLy go away. AnswerThere is no SOL for criminal charges concerning adults whether they are misdemeanors or felonies, the records are permanent. The exception is if the person was a juvenile at the time they committed the offense. In some states juvenile records are sealed when the person reaches 18 in other states the records are destroyed.

There is NO such thing as a misdemeanor burglary in Texas.

NO there IS such thing as a misdemeanor burglary in Texas its called a "2nd degree" it can be charged as a misdeamenor OR a felony depending on what exactly happened LOOK IT UP :)

Answer 2

In general it will remain on your record forever; they don't just automatically expire. Some states have a procedure allowing for certain types of crimes to be expunged or sealed, removing them from the public record.

Answer 3

It depends on the type of burglary you committed. (i.e.: residence - business - after dark - daylight - occupied - unoccupied - etc). Burglary is a felony offense which means that the LEAST you could be sentenced to is a minimum of one year in prison.

Answer 4

I believe in all states that misdemeanors (as compared to violations, which are technically not crimes) stay on your record indefinitely. Unlike felony convictions, misdemeanor convictions don't prohibit you from voting and prohibit certain other rights.

Answer 5

Nothing ever drops off your record, including class c traffic. The only way to have something removed is if you have a conviction expunged.

Answer 6

If you were a minor when the charge was made, it will become sealed once you attain the age of adulthood in your state.

Answer 7

If it occurred after you turned adult, it will remain a permanent part of your criminal history record.
