My question involves criminal law for the state of: Texas
Almost two weeks ago I got caught shoplifting from Walmart. I know, but I was desperate. I went to the register and did not scan a car cover, but did scan other few groceries. I needed the car cover really bad, because I recently got a parking ticket no more than two days after my parking pass expired. It was for 30 dollars, and I had just recently paid school tuition and rent, so money was very tight/ non existent. I could have purchased another parking pass for 65 dollars or just wait 2 weeks until I could renew it for 35 dollars. I couldn't afford to get another parking ticket. And I thought that if I covered my car for two weeks, then that might hold of the tickets because I didn't think they would take off my car cover to see if I had a parking sticker on my windshield. I was already low on money, now I had to pay a 30 dollar parking ticket. So I was desperate, and made the stupid decision of not scanning the car cover at the self checkout on purpose. It was 22 dollars.
Before I walked out, a LP officer stopped me and led me to the back room. I gave them my ID, phone number and address. I signed a paper. Also they told me to look up at one of the ceiling cameras for 5 seconds. They did not call the police and didn't ban me from the store, they just told me I couldn't be back that day. They also said that I "May or May not get something in the mail in two weeks. If I didn't, then I should call Walmart headquarters and ask them about the situation and what going to happen. I am hoping for just a fine, and that no police or any part of the law knows what happened. I am unfortunately on probation for fighting(long story/ self defense). So I cant have anyone know about this. I haven't stepped foot inside that store since then and probably never will.
I have been so scared since then, and Im just praying that its just a fine between me and Walmart.
What do you think will happen?
what will/could come in the mail?
