Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

Misdemeanor C - child unattended in vehicle

I left my mature 12 yr. old in car w/ a 5 month old about 25 min. while I got some things in store. I work as a Youth Leader @ my church & plan to become a substitute teacher. With this on my record I doubt these could be apart of my life anymore. Not being aware of having a 14 year old in car law and not intentionally harming anyone - what are the odds of getting this misdemeanor not put on my record.

Have not paid tickets or went to municipal court yet.

Thank you

Re: Misdemeanor C - child unattended in vehicle

It appears that you have not entered a plea, yet. If this is true, you must talk to an attorney immediately. Depending on the circumstances, there may be some things that you can do that will not result in a conviction record. Again, depending on choices that you make and what you can arrange with the prosecutor, even the arrest may be able to be expunged. Most options will eliminate the opportunity to clear the record.
