How to Start the Vacate Process

Each county has a different process when it comes to vacating (clearing) your drug possession conviction. If you have a conviction from more than one county, you will need to follow the vacate process in each county. If you are seeking information on how to vacate a misdemeanor possession conviction, please contact the municipal court administrator for the court that issued the conviction and ask how to start the vacate process there.

Many counties have an attorney who will help you vacate your conviction at no cost. Other counties have an online form or instructions for getting your conviction vacated.

Select the county where you have a conviction for attorney contact information or website links.
