Q: Will an expunged DWI from 15 years ago in GA show up after a new DWI in TX?
My brother-in-law has just gotten another DWI. Technically this is his 3rd, the first was about 15 years ago in GA and he says it's been expunged. Then he had another in TX probably 5-8 years ago, and just got another one in TX this year. He's now worried about jail time and isn't sure what to expect. Will this count in court as his second or third DWI? About how much jail/prison time does he face, and what will his fine most likely be? Thank you!

A:
DUI cannot be first offender, or deferred of expunged, in GA. On his record for LIFE.
Yes, this one will be found. All arrests involving fingerprints and a mug shot get sent to Quantico VA, at FBI records. Called NCIC records, and all state prosecutors can access these records.
