About clearing a record in Tennessee
Some convictions can be expunged too, under TN Code § 40-32-107. A misdemeanor qualifies unless the statute excludes it. So do the Class C, D and E felonies it names. You wait five years after your sentence ends for a misdemeanor or a Class E felony. You wait ten years for a Class C or D felony. All fines, restitution and court costs must be paid first. The offense must come before any conviction that cannot be expunged. You can expunge one offense. You can expunge two if both are misdemeanors, or one is a felony and one a misdemeanor. You can do it once. For a conviction, the district attorney general's office prepares the petition and proposed order. You file them with the clerk and pay the clerk's fee, under TN Code § 40-32-108.
