State Statutes on Expungement of Records

I couldn't get the other links to work but this is a pdf file of all states.

This is a list of all states and for those that have statutes that address Expungement of Records.
http://childwelfare.gov/systemwide/laws_policies/statutes/registry.pdf

"Approximately 41 States, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Territories of American Samoa, Guam and Puerto Rico have statutes authorizing the establishment of a statewide central registry. A central registry is a centralized database or listing of child maltreatment records. Several States only mandate by law that agencies, usually public social service agencies, collect and maintain child abuse and neglect records.

Approximately 37 States, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, and Guam have statutes providing for the expungement of department and central registry records. The term expungement refers to the procedures used by States to maintain and update their central registries and recordkeeping by removing old or inaccurate records."


TX appears to not have a Statute that addresses this issue!!

HELP.....
