OPINION

GUADALUPE RIVERA, Justice.

The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), appeals from an order granting O.R.T.’s petition for expunction of his records in connection with an arrest for driving while license suspended (DWLS). DPS complains that the trial court erred by granting the petition for expunction on the DWLS charge because O.R.T. pleaded guilty to that charge under section 12.45 of the Texas Penal Code which resulted in a final conviction for a separate DWI offense. We reverse and render judgment denying the petition for expunction on the DWLS offense.
