Re: expungment or sealed record
Provided you have not been convicted of any other offense as an adult, you will likely be eligible to have the record sealed, and then expunged after ten years having the record sealed.

Ed,
Assuming you have never been arrested for any other offenses, you may be eligible to have your arrest record sealed, but not expunged, if you received a WITHHOLD of adjudication.
Please visit my website at: www.slavinlawfirm.com where I have an entire page on sealing and expungements.
For more information, please call my office and I can answer any questions that you may have.
My best,
