Expungement Possible? Effects working with Children? Felony Agg Ass Dismissed Case Criminal Records, Expungement

Greetings:

I was arrested & charged with a felony (Agg. Assault w/ DW) indicted by Texas Grand Jury. I was not convicted, case was dismissed by judge with prejudice (had to attend anger management class). It has been 3 years since.

Is expungement possible? Can you direct me toward the process/paperwork needed? Am I able to file paperwork myself? Is there a short synopsis of process and procedure?

Also, background - I have served on City Boards, School District Boards, Local School Boards and PTA Boards. Since this occurrence, I have not had an issue with the dismissed case on my records, until this week. Can you give me some information on how this dismissed/non-conviction affects my work with children/school districts?

Any assistance provided would be great. Thank you in advance.

I was told this and again, I haven't had any issues for the past three years. However, during a routine background check of Board members, I was advised this morning that this charge appeared (as I understand it is still on my record), and although it shows as dismissed, I still need to get it removed/expunged from my record.

Maybe this is a preference of the organization...

I did come across an issue about a year and a half ago, where an organization would not accept my membership because of this being on my record, but once I advised them of the dynamics of the case and the fact that the case was dismissed they apologized and stated precisely what you have.

Any other words of advise or possible reasons? How can I eradicate the arrest/charge from my record altogether as to not cause future questioning/confusion? Do you advise this?

Thanks again for your time and attention.
