No. 04-00-00479-CV.

53 S.W.3d 421 (2001)

TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY, Appellant, v. Frank Melbourne STOCKTON, Appellee.

Court of Appeals of Texas, San Antonio.

June 13, 2001.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

J. Frank Davis, Texas Dept. of Pub. Safety, Expunction Atty., Crime Records Service, Austin, for Appellant.

Anthony B. Cantrell, Law Office of Anthony B. Cantrell, Suzanne M. Kramer, San Antonio, for Appellee.

Sitting HARDBERGER, Chief Justice, STONE, and GREEN, Justices.

OPINION

STONE, Justice.

In this appeal we are asked to determine whether a dismissal of a DWI proceeding after a favorable ruling on a speedy trial motion is an "acquittal," thus entitling the defendant to expunction of records concerning the DWI charge and a related license revocation. We answer this question in the negative, and hold that expunction is not permitted in this case.
