Kathleenquick sealing Q
Court-ordered DPA on an Indecency in 2009, which juvenile successfully completed w/no later involvement with LE. He's now 19 and filed a motion to seal. Internal discussions about interpreting 58.003 lead me to believe he's eligible, but I was thrown by the sex offense, which seems like it should matter but apparently doesn't.
Can a juvie guru please advise whether my interpretation is correct? Thanks in advance!

Kris MooreI think he is eligible if there was no adjudication of delinquency. See 58.003(d)
(I am assuming that "DPA" is a deferred prosecution - I'm suprised the court ordered it on such and offense)
