Webster Parish Record Expungement
If you have an arrest on your record in Webster Parish and want to get it cleared, Louisiana allows expungement in certain situations. The process involves fees paid to several agencies. It is not free, and the total cost adds up.
For a Webster Parish expungement, you would pay $250 to the Louisiana State Police by money order. The 26th Judicial District Court District Attorney gets $50. The Webster Parish Sheriff gets $50. The Webster Parish Clerk of Court charges $150 to $200. If the arrest was for a DWI, there is an extra $50 fee to the Office of Motor Vehicles. The whole process takes about 6 months from start to finish. Once complete, the arrest record is sealed from public view and will no longer show up on the jail roster or in background searches through the state system.
Note: Expungement does not mean the record is destroyed, only that it is no longer available for public access.
