Expunged Record TXBON

Published

I just got accepted into nursing school and will soon be doing fingerprints. In 2018, I got a misdemeanor for theft and got it expunged in 2022. I had to do a pretrial diversion program and community service hours. 
I'm not sure on whether to disclose it before or after I get the results for my fingerprints. I don't want the process to take longer. I'm just confused as to what to do.

Always be honest up front. If you are up front with them then if something comes up they aren't surprised. Even if something is expunged it doesn't mean all record systems actually have removed it, or that your licensing body may have some kind of access still.

If it's expunged, then you don't need to disclose it. Period. UNLESS it specifically says to list expunged cases, I never disclose mine. I only had to disclose it to the BRN and only because they asked.  I understand you want to be honest, but unless they ask for the info, don't give it.
