Will an expunged felony charge show up on a live scan fingerprint background check? I'm hoping to become an insurance agent/underwriter in Texas. Expunged charge was in Louisiana.

Yes, I believe it will.
What does your expungement say, exactly? Some expungements are visible. It appears that it will show on a background check where licensing is involved, checks by Government/licensing agencies.

•If an expungement is granted, then all rights lost by virtue of an arrest and conviction shall be restored to the person and shall be treated in all respects as not having been arrested or convicted unless otherwise provided in 44:9 or the Code of Criminal Procedure Articles 893 and 894. LA R.S. 44:9(E)1(b) and 44:9(E)3(b)
