Chas,

What record does TX look at? Would it be a DMV report, or a background check? I am looking to dig up files and need to know where i go first.

**i called the PA County Clerk of courts, and they do not have anything on file for me... she also helped explain the expoungement and ARD (Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition) terms. I was charged, but never convicted due to the acceptance into the ARD program. Depending where TX would look for the background, depends what they would see. Obviously the CIA, FBI, and other higher agencies have access to everything, but as far as all the state offices and files, it is gone. The only drawback is through PENNDOT, or Pennsylvania Transportation. It stays on the driving record for 10 years.

Here is a link if you care to read on the ARD - http://www.pacode.com/secure/data/234/c ... p3toc.html


Let me know your thoughts.


Thanks!

It will see if I can get the papers. Thanks for the help.

This is what I'm most confused about and why I posted.... If I was never convicted, how does that make it in eligible? Secondly, if PA calls it an uncoded misdemeanor how does that transfer to being a class a or b in Texas?

Just trying to figure this out. I guess one place to start is pull the files from PA and see what's there?

Hello all! I have been reading and can't find a similar case to mine so here it goes..

I received a DUI in September 2008 in Pennsylvania. PA lists a first offense as an ungraded misdemeanor. However, after all the classes fines and license suspension, the DUI was expongued. While it stays on my PA driving recrod for 10 years, it shows that i was never "convicted."
I moved to TX in march 2010.


How does this affect my eligibility? Please address the class of misdemeanor, and the expungement. Looking forward to getting an answer.

Thanks!
