TX Offender Registry

A Career Stalled by an Old Record

Our client was shocked when a promising job offer was rescinded.

The reason? A background check revealed he was listed on the s*x offender registry.

He had no idea this was the case, as the issue stemmed from a juvenile adjudication that occurred in 1999.

Under the law, his registration requirement should have ended 15 years ago, but an administrative error kept him on the list, unfairly impacting his professional life.

Realizing he needed expert legal help, he contacted our post conviction team.

Legal Strategy and Swift Action

Upon taking the case, our attorney Morgan Walker immediately launched a comprehensive investigation into our client's record.

This is a critical first step that requires meticulous legal review and an understanding of historical and current registration laws.

Our Process

Thorough File Review: We began by obtaining and analyzing all court documents and records related to the original 1999 juvenile adjudication. This allowed us to confirm the specific terms of his sentence and the corresponding registration requirements at that time.

Statutory Analysis: Our team cross-referenced the client’s case with the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. We confirmed that, based on the nature of the offense and his age at the time, his duty to register had legally expired a decade and a half prior. He was no longer required by law to be on the registry.

Direct Agency Intervention: Armed with clear evidence, we didn't file a lengthy court motion, which can take months. Instead, we took a more direct and efficient route. We compiled a legal demand packet containing our findings and sent it directly to the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), the agency responsible for maintaining the state's registry.

Coordinated Communication: We simultaneously contacted all relevant local law enforcement agencies where our client had previously been registered. This ensured that the removal order from the state would be processed smoothly at the local level without bureaucratic delays.
