#HT Center For Justice Equity To Host

Expunctions Panel

The Huston-Tillotson Center for Justice Equity (HT CJE) will host a Expunctions Panel discussion to help individuals know what their rights are and what key steps are needed to get eligible offenses cleared from their records.

Just because a case is dismissed by a judge does not automatically means it is removed from the official record. It can have long-term ramifications that can affect a person’s ability to gain future employment, housing, or more.
