Re: Theft

It is difficult to answer your question without knowing more facts about your case and the disposition. It is possible that you received and completed deferred adjudication. If so, then the case was dismissed and no conviction appears. If your case was diverted, it is possible that there was no court filing. In either event, the arrest still shows up on your record. Contact an attorney with a copy of the disposition, and find out if you are eligible for an expunction or a nondisclosure.
