My question involves criminal law for the state of: Texas
I am a teacher and was charged seven years ago with a misdemeanor A assault with bodily harm. I was told by my lawyer that the case was deferred. I have been living here in Arkansas and teaching and now I was not rehired because of the conviction showing up. I was told I cannot get it expunged or have an appeal based on conviction. What can I do? My livelihood is at stake. Will I ever be able to teach again, is there ANYWAY I can get this sealed, removed, something. I am not a bad person, made a mistake but have been doing very well in my career. Is it a lost?
