Your options are to hire an attorney, if you can afford an attorney, or ask the court to appoint you an attorney to represent you. The option for a public defender is not an automatic option. You should have representation. This is a crime of moral turpitude and will haunt you for the rest of your life if you do not handle it correctly. No one wants to hire a thief. Consult with a local criminal defense attorney, most provide a free consultation for these types of crimes. Good luck.

Will a possession charge under 7411 show up on FBI background check if it’s dismissed?

If you did deferred adjudication then the FBI will be able to see it. You can have the record sealed so that most people cannot see it, but Law Enforcement will be exempt from the order sealing your record.

If I'm 17 and got charged with a Misdemeanor class A for "car hopping" and I don't want it on my background, what should I do?

Assuming you do not have any valid defenses, you should try to plea the case "under advisement," or under the Holmes Youthful Trainee Act (commonly referred to as "HYTA"). Under those types of pleas, after you successfully complete a period of probation, your charges are dismissed and you can honestly say on job applications that you were not "convicted" of the crime. I wish you all the best of luck.
