The defendant, a resident of Texas who grew up in Massachusetts, and who served in the military, had a CORI which consisted of a “CWOF” on two counts of ABDW, hired Boston Criminal Defense Attorney Steven J. Topazio to seal his criminal record. The defendant had plans on obtaining his license to carry a firearm in Texas, but was told that due to his CORI was disqualified under Texas law. Under Texas law a CWOF is considered a conviction, despite the case ending up a dismissal in Massachusetts. The client was told that if he could seal his Massachusetts CORI then under Texas law his Massachusetts CORI would not disqualify him for obtaining a Texas License to Carry a concealed weapon. Today Attorney Topazio caused his Client’s CORI to be sealed and now he can truthfully answer on his application to carry a firearm in Texas, or on any job or school application that he has no record despite being arrested, charged and placed on probation for this crime.
