Dallas County DA John Creuzot expects more than 1,000 people will sign up to have their criminal records cleared and a chance in some cases to begin again.
It's the sixth expunction expo that's helped more than 1,700 people since it began in 2017."There are some people for example who have a criminal record, and they're able to have some things they can get rid of," Creuzot said. "And it helps them, and then there are some people who have nothing whatsoever except this and it’s kind of hanging there. It’s an impediment to their moving on so those are the people it helps the most.
If you or someone you know think you may be eligible for expunction, there's an application with guidelines on the Dallas County website.
