The event will focus on helping eligible residents remove records that could create barriers to employment, housing and education.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">Legal services will be available to Harris County residents ages 18 to 30 whose Class A or B misdemeanor cases were dismissed or ended in an acquittal. Qualifying offenses may include marijuana possession involving up to 4 ounces, theft, unlawful carrying of a weapon, resisting or evading arrest, criminal trespass and criminal mischief.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">District Attorney Sean Teare said the event is intended to help people move beyond past cases rather than face long-term consequences after their legal matters have ended.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">In addition to expunction assistance, organizers will provide occupational driver\u2019s license applications for people who are employed. Those applicants will have court hearings scheduled for a later date through a partnership with Justice of the Peace Wanda Adams.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">The event will also include a job fair and community resource tables, which will be open to all attendees regardless of whether they qualify for legal services.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dLMFU sc-fHjqPf jbiTJv kYFPaL article-text\">Registration is required for legal services.
