669669 (b) The duty to remove information under Subsection (a)

671671 (1) the department has received notice from a local
672672 law enforcement authority under Subsection (c) or (d) that the
673673 person is no longer required to register or will no longer be
674674 required to renew registration and the department verifies the

693693 the renewal is the final annual renewal of registration required by

695695 will expire before the next annual renewal is scheduled, the
696696 authority shall automatically remove all information about the
697697 person from the DWI offender registry on expiration of the duty to

716716 SUBCHAPTER F. EXEMPTIONS FROM REGISTRATION FOR CERTAIN JUVENILES
717717 Art. 66.251. MOTION AND HEARING GENERALLY. (a) During or
718718 after disposition of a case under Section 54.04, Family Code, for
719719 adjudication of an offense for which registration is required under
720720 this chapter, the juvenile court on motion of the respondent shall
721721 conduct a hearing to determine whether the interests of the public
722722 require registration under this chapter. The motion may be filed
723723 and the hearing held regardless of whether the respondent is under
724724 18 years of age. Notice of the motion and hearing shall be provided
725725 to the prosecuting attorney.
726726 (b) The hearing is without a jury and the burden of
727727 persuasion is on the respondent to show by a preponderance of
728728 evidence that the criteria of Article 66.252(a) have been met. The
729729 court at the hearing may make its determination based on:
730730 (1) the receipt of exhibits;
731731 (2) the testimony of witnesses;
732732 (3) representations of counsel for the parties; or
733733 (4) the contents of a substance abuse report prepared
734734 by the juvenile probation department that may include the results
735735 of testing and examination of the respondent by a psychologist,
736736 psychiatrist, or counselor.
737737 (c) All written matter considered by the court shall be
738738 disclosed to all parties as provided by Section 54.04(b), Family
739739 Code.
740740 (d) If a respondent, as part of a plea agreement, promises
741741 not to file a motion seeking an order exempting the respondent from
742742 registration under this chapter, the court may not recognize a
743743 motion filed by a respondent under this article.
744744 Art. 66.252. ORDER GENERALLY. (a) The court shall enter an
745745 order exempting a respondent from registration under this chapter
746746 if the court determines:
747747 (1) that the protection of the public would not be
748748 increased by registration of the respondent under this chapter; or
749749 (2) that any potential increase in protection of the
750750 public resulting from registration of the respondent is clearly
751751 outweighed by the anticipated substantial harm to the respondent
752752 and the respondent's family that would result from registration
753753 under this chapter.
754754 (b) After a hearing under Article 66.251 or under a plea
755755 agreement described by Article 66.255(b), the juvenile court may
756756 enter an order:
757757 (1) deferring decision on requiring registration
758758 under this chapter until the respondent has completed substance
759759 abuse treatment as a condition of probation or while committed to
760760 the Texas Youth Commission; or
761761 (2) requiring the respondent to register as a DWI
762762 offender but providing that the registration information is not
763763 public information and is restricted to use by law enforcement and
764764 criminal justice agencies.
765765 (c) If the court enters an order described by Subsection
766766 (b)(1), the court retains discretion and jurisdiction to require,
767767 or exempt the respondent from, registration under this chapter at
768768 any time during the treatment or on the successful or unsuccessful
769769 completion of treatment, except that during the period of deferral,
770770 registration may not be required. Following successful completion
771771 of treatment, the respondent is exempted from registration under
772772 this chapter unless a hearing under this subchapter is held on
773773 motion of the state, regardless of whether the respondent is 18
774774 years of age or older, and the court determines the interests of the
775775 public require registration. Not later than the 10th day after the
776776 date of the respondent's successful completion of treatment, the
777777 treatment provider shall notify the juvenile court and prosecuting
778778 attorney of the completion.
779779 (d) Information that is the subject of an order described by
780780 Subsection (b)(2) may not be posted on the Internet or released to
781781 the public.

783783 ALREADY REGISTERED. (a) A person who has registered as a DWI
784784 offender for an adjudication of delinquent conduct, regardless of
785785 when the delinquent conduct or the adjudication for the conduct
786786 occurred, may file a motion in the adjudicating juvenile court for a
787787 hearing seeking:
788788 (1) exemption from registration under this chapter as
789789 provided by Article 66.251; or
790790 (2) an order under Article 66.252(b)(2) that the
791791 registration become nonpublic.
792792 (b) The person may file a motion under Subsection (a) in the
793793 original juvenile case regardless of whether the person, at the
794794 time of filing the motion, is 18 years of age or older. Notice of
795795 the motion shall be provided to the prosecuting attorney. A
796796 hearing on the motion shall be provided as in other cases under this
797797 subchapter.
798798 (c) Only one subsequent motion may be filed under Subsection
799799 (a) if a previous motion under this article has been filed
800800 concerning the case.
801801 (d) To the extent feasible, the motion under Subsection (a)
802802 shall identify those public and private agencies and organizations
803803 that possess DWI offender registration information about the case.
804804 (e) The juvenile court, after a hearing, may:
805805 (1) deny a motion filed under Subsection (a);
806806 (2) grant a motion described by Subsection (a)(1); or
807807 (3) grant a motion described by Subsection (a)(2).
808808 (f) If the court grants a motion filed under Subsection (a),
809809 the clerk of the court shall send by certified mail, return receipt
810810 requested, a copy of the order to the department, to each local law
811811 enforcement authority that the person has proved to the juvenile
812812 court has registration information about the person, and to each
813813 public or private agency or organization that the person has proved
814814 to the juvenile court has information about the person that is
815815 currently available to the public with or without payment of a fee.
816816 The clerk of the court shall send by certified mail, return receipt
817817 requested, a copy of the order to any other agency or organization
818818 designated by the person. The person shall identify the agency or
819819 organization and its address and pay a fee of $20 to the court for
820820 each agency or organization the person designates.
