Fighting for Texans' right to a clean slate

Who We Are

Issues

Clean Slate Texas is a coalition of community organizations, advocacy groups, businesses, faith leaders, directly impacted individuals, and families dedicated to expanding access to criminal record sealing. Our mission is to help people with criminal records obtain housing, employment, education, and other opportunities without facing lifelong discrimination.
