Depends on the wording. In general, a pardon is the equivalent of the conviction being removed- but for a current and accurate answer, you need to consult with an attorney in YOUR state.

If pardoned of a conviction 25 years ago will it still be on your record?

If you are pardoned for a conviction, the conviction itself may still appear on your criminal record, but it is typically noted that the conviction has been pardoned. The specifics can vary by jurisdiction, as some places may allow for the record to be sealed or expunged after a pardon. It’s important to check the laws in your state or country regarding the visibility of pardoned convictions on your record. Generally, a pardon can restore certain rights, but it doesn't erase the conviction from all records.


If you were charged with a felony and they drop it to a misdemeanor and you plead no contest is it still being convicted of a felony?

Naturally this varies across jurisdictions, but most of these do not (for reasons of fairness) allow laws to be retroactive. So, the philosophical answer is NO. But of course the choice of which offence the authorities decide to prosecute you for is wide open, and they could charge one with an alternate crime, which did exist at the time of the offence.

In Texas how can you have your criminal record expunged 10 years after a felony conviction?

There is no recourse for having a valid felony conviction removed from the record of an adult offender. An exception might be if the governor of the state were to issue a full pardon to the convicted person based upon evidence that proves said individual was wrongfully convicted. Edit: Not totally true. If you were given deferred probation you are eligible to have your felony removed in just 5 years! The laws changed in 2005. If you went to prison or took regular probation, then the law does not allow for you to get the record expunged. If you were given "deferred prosecution" you would be eligible for expungement as it results in no final conviction upon successful release. If you were given "deferred adjudication," also called "probation' or "community supervision," you are not eligible for expungement as this still results in a final conviction. The only way to have a record expunged is if you were not convicted, had the conviction overturned by the Court of Criminal Appeals, or granted a Governor's pardon. For the actual law, see the Code of Criminal Procedure: http://tlo2.tlc.state.tx.us/statutes/cr.toc.htm Actually (2) You are eligible for expunction only if you were charged, but not prosecuted, or if you were found not guilty: either at the court of first instance or on appeal. In some cases, Class C misdemeanors (generally traffic tickets) are also eligible for expunction. If you received a pardon from the Governor you are also eligible. An Order of Nondisclosure, on the other hand, can be obtained by those who have undergone a deferred adjudication and who have committed an offense where the law allows deferred adjudication. In addition, they have not received any further conviction beyond a Class C misdemeanor Both these approaches effectively allow you to have your criminal record sealed from databases, private companies in the general public. Moreover, you are legally entitled to deny that such a record actually exists. In short, it effectively erases your previous record. As a warning, however, the Order of Nondisclosure may be denied if you have received any further charges beyond that of a Class C misdemeanor.


How do you get a public intoxacation and resisting arrest charge off of your record?

Criminal arrests and convictions are a permanent part of your criminal record. An arrest or conviction can be expunged or sealed under certain exceptional conditions. It is not often done. The process varies from one state to another, and involves making a petition to the court that presided over the original arrest and/or conviction. The court will usually consider the circumstances of the original arrest, and the conduct of the person arrested since then. Generally, a substantial amount of time has to have passed since the original arrest, and the arrestee must have been a model citizen since. Sealing or expungement of a conviction does not allow you to omit this information from many background investigation processes. A pardon of a previous conviction eliminates the consequences of the conviction, such as restoration of civil rights, but does not remove the conviction from your record.
