Houston Bar Association - Juvenile Records Sealing Project

The Houston Bar Association’s Juvenile Records Sealing Project was created to give juveniles convicted of minor, non-violent offenses a second chance. With their records sealed, these young people can join the military, apply for jobs in government, and attend college without the stigma of a juvenile criminal record. The program grew out of the HBA’s Juvenile and Captial Advocacy Project (JCAP) of Texas, a partnership with Harris County Juvenile Probation, the Harris County District Attorney’s Office and the Houston Police Department.
