My question is for the state of Texas.
This is my first time stealing and happened to be the first time i got caught. And i feel absolutely horrible and i realize it is stupid. And now i do not know what to do.
At walmart i stole a small make up pallete and face product and the total came out to be around $15.
LP stopped before i walked out the door and introduced himself to me and told me he saw me steal the make up and to follow him. He asked why i did it and i replied i only had money for what i bought. We walked to a little office that had one guy sitting at the computer. They asked me for my ID and called another lady in there. He than checked the system to see if i was in there, and of course not because it was my first time. He told me he was going to take a picture of me so if another walmart or sam's club saw me and i stole from them the cops would be there immediately. So I'm thinking I'm not banned. They told me from the get go the cops weren't going to be called. I signed a paper that barely had any writing on it, so i wasn't really sure was i was signing for. And it didn't cross my mind to ask at the time. they didn't say anything about me paying or getting fined. but they told me i would be getting mail from walmart and that i just needed to reply. again they didn't mention anything about paying a fine.
After reading many threads i haven't found a similar situation as mine.
My question is will this be on my record? and if it does how will i be able to keep it off?
What will that letter contain than I'm " replying " to?
What further actions should i take?
Please help!
