My question involves criminal law for the state of: Texas
(wasn't sure what to post this under)
30 years ago, at the age of 30 and a foolish idiot, I was caught writing a hot check (no bank account) for around $150.00 for merchandise at a department store.
I was arrested, spent the night in jail, released the next morning after a hearing (I'd never done anything illegal before or since) and paid the fines and restitution. No probation.
Was that considered a felony or a misdemeanor? Would it still be on my record?
Thank you.
