TX HB2708

Expands eligibility for nondisclosure orders to include felony convictions and community supervision cases, not just misdemeanors as under current law

Reduces waiting periods for deferred adjudication nondisclosure petitions: misdemeanors eligible immediately upon discharge, state jail felonies after 1 year (previously 2 years for certain misdemeanors), and other felonies after 2 years (previously 5 years)

Establishes tiered waiting periods for felony convictions without community supervision: state jail felonies after 5 years, third-degree felonies after 7 years, second-degree felonies after 10 years, and first-degree felonies after 12 years

Removes the requirement that petitioners have no prior convictions or deferred adjudication placements (other than fine-only traffic offenses) to be eligible for nondisclosure

Maintains exclusions from nondisclosure eligibility for DWI-related offenses (Sections 49.04-49.08, Penal Code) and driving under the influence by minors (Section 106.041, Alcoholic Beverage Code)
