(1) following a conviction of a misdemeanor other than a misdemeanor under Section 106.041, Alcoholic Beverage Code, Section 49.04, 49.05, 49.06, or 49.065, Penal Code, or Chapter 71, Penal Code; and
(2) under a provision of Chapter 42A, Code of Criminal Procedure, other than Subchapter C, including:
(A) a provision that requires the person to serve a term of confinement as a condition of community supervision; or
(B) another provision that authorizes placing a person on community supervision after the person has served part of a term of confinement imposed for the offense.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this subchapter or Subchapter F, a person described by Subsection (a) whose community supervision is not revoked and who completes the period of community supervision, including any term of confinement imposed and payment of all fines, costs, and restitution imposed, may petition the court that placed the person on community supervision for an order of nondisclosure of criminal history record information under this section if the person:
