The Harris County District Attorney’s Office will host a free Clean Slate Day on September 26, 2026, aimed at assisting eligible young adults with expunctions of minor offenses. The event is open to individuals who qualify under the county’s existing Clean Slate program, which permits the removal of certain low‑level convictions from a person’s criminal record.
The Clean Slate initiative, operated by the district attorney’s office, provides a pathway for those with qualifying offenses to have those records sealed or erased. On the designated day, office staff will be available to guide participants through the necessary paperwork and answer questions about the expunction process. No fee will be charged for the assistance provided.
Eligibility is limited to young adults who meet the program’s criteria for minor offenses. While the specific age range and offense types are defined by the Clean Slate guidelines, the day’s purpose is to reach those who stand to benefit most from a cleared record.
By facilitating expunctions, the district attorney’s office seeks to reduce barriers that minor convictions can create in areas such as employment, housing, and education. Removing these records can improve access to opportunities that might otherwise be limited by a criminal history.
The free Clean Slate Day will take place within Harris County, Texas, and participants are encouraged to attend to receive direct assistance. The event reflects the office’s ongoing commitment to providing resources that help residents move beyond past infractions.
The district attorney’s office hopes the September 26 session will streamline the expunction process for eligible young adults and contribute to broader efforts to give individuals a fresh start after minor legal setbacks.
