HB 992 amends existing provisions in the Texas Government Code to allow individuals who successfully complete a specialty court program to petition for an order of nondisclosure of their criminal history records. The bill provides eligibility criteria, including a clean record for certain serious offenses, no felony convictions within two years of program completion, and prohibits eligibility for offenses related to motor vehicle intoxication. It specifies procedural requirements for issuing nondisclosure orders and repeals certain related code provisions, effective September 1, 2025.
