Unless the other party can legally tell you why you would have to reveal an expungement before even asking such a question, the respondent should keep his or her mouth shut and reply "No" to any verbal questions and write "No" in response to any written questions!
Go ahead if you're willing to take that gamble. If they find the record of the arrest and you claimed you were never arrested, don't be surprised if DPS (or employers) wonder what else you're hiding from them. And rightly so IMHO.
