I never said I had enough money for an expensive apartment until I'm 80.

I said the money will last until I'm 80.

Before you do anything else, why not go to the trustee, apologize with true sincerity, tell him you have dropped all complaints to have his trusteeship cancelled, and ask what can be done to repair the relationship. You might also want to send a certified letter to him stating that.


To me, it sounds like when you filed legal papers against him (a slap in his face), he really had no other choice but to whack you back. It sounds like he is a pretty good slugger too, doesn't it?


As a trustee lawyer, he likely deals with entitled people like you all the time.

For a non-violent offense? That can't be right. Have you actually ever talked to an attorney about this?

Unless you were convicted under federal charges That is just not true, unless you robbed the White House. If you did that you are SOL.

Yes. Believe it or not, they still do background checks in Texas for your entire life when moving into an apartment.

Some states only go back 7 - 10 years. Texas does life searches.

You might want to talk to an attorney about this...

(2) More than ten years have elapsed since the person completed any sentence, deferred adjudication, or period of probation or parole based on the felony conviction, and the person has not been convicted of any other criminal offense during the ten-year period, and has no criminal charge pending against him. The motion filed pursuant to this Subparagraph shall include a certification obtained from the district attorney which verifies that, to his knowledge, the applicant has no convictions during the ten-year period and no pending charges under a bill of information or indictment.

B. No expungement shall be granted nor shall a person be permitted to file a motion to expunge the record of arrest and conviction of a felony offense if the person was convicted of the commission or attempted commission of any of the following offenses:
