GENERAL INFORMATION: What - my arrest is not on the state database

You can't find my arrest or conviction - WHY?

If I can't find your arrest and/or conviction record, it is USUALLY one of four reasons:

1. It was a Federal crime and not a state crime
2. It wasn't an arrest - maybe you turned yourself in
3. Perhaps the conviction was sealed (some states, unlike Texas, have a category like Deferred Adjudication or Conditional Dismissal, where          charges are sealed after the probation)
4. Different name or date of birth recorded

Does that mean you don't need to be worried - NO, it means that I can only go by your recollection of the event. I can't provide guidance. 

But it doesn't mean I can't help you.  It just means we may have additional options.
