1) hire an attorney to get the felony expunged. its costly, but will pay off HUGE if done. I've seen these happen, even to a friend that had a drug conviction. Depending on the charges and how long ago, as long as shes been a "model citizen" and not gotten into any trouble its worth it. Especially if she can claim she can not get a job because of her area of expertise (i.e. college degree)

In Texas, felonies cannot be expunged until 5 years have past from the time after release from either TDJC or community supervision. So if you have 5 years felony probation.. you can expect at least 10 years before it can be expunged.. and this goes for deferred adjudication as well.. at least in Texas.

Any company doing an NCIC background check will get a hit for the felony arrest. They are more expensive than state-runs but of course depends on the company doing the checking.
