September is here! At RBIsenberg, G2web and DWIDallas, we want to welcome the new month and wish a very Happy Birthday to everyone celebrating in September.
Birthdays are a time to celebrate, give back, and appreciate the people around us. If September is your birthday month, we would love to celebrate with you.
If you are celebrating a birthday this month, email our admin at itsmybirthday@g2web.com and let us know!
In your honor, we will make a donation to one of our favorite nonprofits, Arbor Day Foundation. It is our way of helping celebrate your special day while supporting an organization that works to plant trees and make a positive difference.
Whether you are facing criminal charges, have questions about your rights, or simply want to be better prepared, here are a few important reminders:
If you are questioned or arrested, remember that you have important legal rights. You generally have the right to remain silent and the right to speak with an attorney. It is important to stay calm and avoid making statements that could later be misunderstood or used against you.
A criminal charge, court date, or legal notice should never be ignored. Missing deadlines or court appearances can create additional problems and may affect your case.
The facts, evidence, circumstances, and legal issues in every criminal case are unique. What happened in someone else’s case does not necessarily determine what may happen in yours. An experienced criminal defense lawyer can review the specific details of your situation and explain your available options.
The earlier a criminal defense attorney becomes involved, the sooner they can begin reviewing the facts, examining the evidence, and protecting your rights. If you or someone you care about is facing a criminal accusation or arrest in Dallas or the surrounding area, getting legal guidance promptly can be important.
We hope September brings you plenty of reasons to celebrate. And if it is your birthday month, don’t forget to email itsmybirthday@g2web.com so we can celebrate by making a donation in your honor to the Arbor Day Foundation.
From everyone at RBIsenberg, DWIDallas and G2web………

If you have a Class C misdemeanor family violence case in Tarrant County, you may be wondering how much it will cost to get the record expunged. The answer depends on the outcome of your case and whether you meet the requirements for an expunction under Texas law.
An expunction, sometimes called an expungement, is a legal process that can remove eligible arrest and criminal records from government records. However, not every Class C misdemeanor family violence case qualifies.
There are generally two types of costs to consider:
Tarrant County’s District Clerk handles felony and misdemeanor expunctions. The county’s current fee information should be checked because filing and notification fees can change. Tarrant County‘s 2026 fee information reflects changes to expunction-related fees, including fees for notifying agencies that cannot receive an expunction order electronically.
Attorney‘s fees are separate from the court costs and can vary depending on the circumstances of the case, including the number of agencies that must receive notice and whether a hearing is required.
This is where the details of your case become extremely important.
Under Texas law, certain Class C misdemeanor cases may qualify for expunction when the charge was dismissed or otherwise resolved in a manner that meets the statutory requirements. Texas law specifically provides circumstances under which records from a Class C misdemeanor arrest may be expunged.
For example, a Class C misdemeanor that was dismissed may be eligible, depending on how the case was resolved and the person’s criminal history.
However, if you were convicted of the Class C family violence offense, the analysis is different. A conviction generally prevents a person from obtaining a traditional expunction simply because the offense was a Class C misdemeanor.
That is why it is important to have an attorney review the actual court records before assuming that your case can be expunged.
Family violence cases can have additional consequences beyond what appears on a typical criminal background check. The specific charge, disposition, prior criminal history, and the way the case was resolved can all affect whether expunction is available.
Tarrant County’s District Attorney’s Office explains that Texas law establishes specific requirements for expunction and recommends that individuals obtain their criminal history and consult a licensed attorney to determine whether they qualify.
If your case involved assault family violence by contact, for example, the fact that it was charged as a Class C misdemeanor does not automatically mean the record can be removed.
If your Class C family violence case was dismissed, you may have a path to expunction. The waiting period and other requirements depend on the circumstances surrounding the arrest and dismissal.
Under current Texas law, certain Class C misdemeanor arrests can qualify for expunction after 180 days when the statutory requirements are satisfied and no indictment or information has been presented for the applicable offense.
Other circumstances can create different eligibility rules.
There is no single price that applies to every Tarrant County Class C misdemeanor family violence expunction.
Your total cost may include:
1. Court and filing fees
These are paid to the court and are separate from your attorney‘s fees.
2. Attorney’s fees
If you hire a criminal defense attorney to prepare and file the petition, notify the appropriate agencies, and handle the court process, the attorney‘s fee will depend on the circumstances of your case.
3. Additional notification or administrative costs
Depending on the case, additional costs may apply when agencies must be notified by methods other than electronic transmission. Tarrant County‘s 2026 information lists a $40 certified-mail notification fee per applicable agency.
Because the number of agencies and the applicable filing requirements can vary, it is important to get a case-specific estimate rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all price.
If you have a Class C misdemeanor family violence case in Tarrant County, don’t assume that the record can or cannot be expunged based solely on the classification of the offense.
The first step is determining exactly how your case was resolved and whether you meet the requirements for expunction under Texas law.
Randall Isenberg and the attorneys at the Law Offices of Randall Isenberg can review your criminal record and discuss whether you may qualify for an expunction and what the process may cost in your particular situation.
Contact the Law Offices of Randall Isenberg to discuss your Tarrant County expunction case.
As we welcome August 2026, all of us at The Law Offices of Randall B. Isenberg would like to wish a Happy Birthday to everyone celebrating this month! We hope your special day is filled with family, friends, and great memories.

One of the most common questions people ask after watching a high-profile traffic stop is whether they can simply call their attorney before answering questions or taking field sobriety tests.
Whether you’re stopped in Texas, Wisconsin, or virtually any other state, there is generally no constitutional right to have your attorney present during the roadside portion of a traffic stop. A routine traffic stop is considered a temporary investigative detention, not a custodial interrogation, so the right to have an attorney present has usually not attached yet. This principle comes from the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Berkemer v. McCarty.
That means an officer is typically not required to delay the investigation while you call your lawyer or wait for your attorney to arrive.
Absolutely.
You may politely tell the officer that you would like to speak with an attorney. However, in most cases, the officer can continue the investigation, ask questions, request field sobriety testing where permitted by law, and make decisions based on the evidence available at the scene. Simply asking for a lawyer does not stop the traffic stop or prevent an arrest.
Every case is different, but many criminal defense attorneys recommend that drivers:
Yes. While every state has its own DWI, DUI, or OWI laws, the constitutional rules regarding when the right to counsel attaches come from federal law and generally apply nationwide. As a result, drivers in both Texas and Wisconsin usually do not have the right to consult with an attorney before the roadside investigation is completed.
Once you have been arrested and are subjected to custodial questioning, your constitutional rights become much more significant. At that point, if you clearly invoke your right to remain silent and request an attorney, law enforcement generally must honor those rights before continuing custodial interrogation.
Disclaimer: This article is intended for general educational purposes and is not legal advice. If you have been arrested for DWI, DUI, or OWI, contact an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible to discuss the facts of your specific case.
