of this code while a minor [, on attaining the age of 21 years,] may

the conviction expunged if:

offense;    
		(2)  the person has attained the age of 19 years; and

of any other violation of this code [while he was a minor], the 
court shall order the conviction, together with all complaints, 
verdicts, sentences, and other documents relating to the offense, 
to be expunged from the applicant's record.  After entry of the 
order, the applicant shall be released from all disabilities
