House Bill 2002 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to authorize a close relative of a deceased person who, if not deceased, would be entitled to expunction of records and files relating to a custodial or noncustodial arrest for the commission of a felony or a misdemeanor to file on behalf of the deceased person an ex parte petition for expunction. The bill requires a court to enter the expunction order if the court finds that the deceased person would be entitled to expunction of any record or file that is the subject of the petition.
