Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

I made a stupid mistake and shoplifted $44.99 earrings and i got caught.

They called the police and i got a class c misdemeanor, they told me i will go to court and i will get 2 separate tickets...one form the store and one from the police. They also called my parents and had them come up to the store.

i am a minor and i live in Texas.

I didnt get sent to jail or juvie but i want to know whats going to happen to me when i go to court and after that.

I know what i did was stupid and i will never do it again, i learned my lesson.

I know my record will be cleared later but i want to know more
