Description
On June 20, 2005, Judy Beam was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor offense. Pursuant to a plea agreement, the charge was later dismissed and Beam was granted deferred adjudication on the lesser charge of disorderly conduct. TEX. PENAL CODE § 42.01(a). On February 16, 2006, less than two years later, Beam filed a petition for expunction pursuant to article 55.01 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The State contends that Beam is not entitled to expunction until two years after the date on which she allegedly committed the misdemeanor offense because the State has a two-year limitations period during which it may present an indictment or information. CODE CRIM. PROC. art. 12.02. Therefore, according to the State, Beam cannot seek expunction before the two-year limitations period has expired on June 20, 2007.
