Buda, TX Criminal Defense Law Firms & Lawyers

I have had a lot of clients face this problem. I think you should answer the question by saying you were arrested for the stolen property offense but it was reduced to littering. The employer will find out anyway. If you front the information first, it gives you the chance to appear forthcoming instead of claiming later that you didn't think you "technically" had to answer. In a way, the question is a test to see what you are willing to be honest about in the first place. They might not give you the job. But I think they'll fire you later if you don't divulge what happened and they have to find out what happened from the background check. By then, they'll be less interested in any explanation you might have.

What kind of violations? If you have traffic convictions, they remain. If you have other class C convictions, they remain. If you gotdeferred prosecution and successfully served it on non traffic offenses, you can file a lawsuit in civil district court to expunge your record if two years have passed since you completed the deferred.

The authorities do not have to give you a breath test. You are under 21 and all that the officer has to testify too is that he smelled it on your breath. You do not have much of a defense. You should contact an attorney that mainly takes care of class c misdemeanors. The attorney can generally negotiate a deal that will allow you to expunge your record. Good luck.
