Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

Almost 2 years ago I had a misdemeanor theft case in the state of Texas. I pleaded no contest, and the case became dismissed, after I did my community service.

I have a potentioal job at a big 5 star hotel, and they will do a background check. My question is since my case was dismissed, will it still come back on my criminal record of the misdemeanor theft case?
