Clearing Union Parish Arrest Records

Were you arrested in Union Parish and the charges got dropped? Louisiana law under La. C.Cr.P. Art. 971 lets you file for expungement. Expungement does not erase the record. It makes it confidential. Most public searches will no longer show the arrest after that.

You file the motion through the 3rd Judicial District Court. Show proof that the case ended in your favor. Misdemeanor convictions may qualify after five years. Felony convictions are typically not eligible. A local attorney can walk you through the steps if you need help.

Note: Even after expungement, law enforcement can still see the record.
