In Illinois (where I am licensed in addition to Texas), you can file to have a nolle prosequi expunged immediately (as opposed to a waiting period). Texas is similar--nolle prosequi is grounds for expungement, but you may have a waiting period.
["Nolle Prosequi" means that the prosecutor decided not to pursue the case against you.]
