Expunctions

Expunctions Procedures in Chambers County

In Chambers County, any one of our five elected justices of the peace officials may magistrate and normally take turns doing so.  Therefore, unless the person seeking the expunction was arrested by an agency other than the Chambers County Sheriff’s Office, you must include the correct magistrate in your application and order of expunction to ensure the person’s arrest file is completely expunged.

The following is a list of agencies normally involved in the expunction process.  Please include the physical or mailing and email address of each agency in your petition.  Duplicate agencies will not be notified.  No “issue expunction-certified mail” fee is required if you include the agency's email addresses in the petition/order.

This list is not all-inclusive.  You should include any outside agency that has published your information concerning the charge/arrest.  For each agency you include that does not have an email address, you must pay $25 for the “issue expunction-certified mail” fee, which includes mailing of the notice and order.

Self-Represented Litigants 

An expunction order obliterates an arrest from the person’s criminal history record and all files associated with the arrest and charge.  There are certain conditions that must be met to be eligible for an expunction.  For this information and more, you are encouraged to consult with an attorney.   If you cannot afford an attorney, please visit the following websites for guidance and forms:
