To the OP:

For San Antonio Bexar County the process is as follows for pretrial diversion (I will add that you are extremely lucky the laws just changed on this, because the program used to only be available for defendants up to age 21; also it appears you must enter a statement of guilt. I assume that is different than entering a formal guilty plea, but if it's not that could end up hurting you during licensing because you will have to admit to the guilty plea, which according to the Texas medical licensing board is viewed the same as a conviciton):

How Does the Defendant Apply?



The attorney of record must be registered through eDiscovery so they can send and receive email notifications and documentation.
The initial application form must be submitted online by the attorney of record. The application will not be accepted in any other manner or location.
The application and its requirements must be completed by the Defendant, scanned by the attorney submitted online and the fee paid within 90 days of the initial arrest.
The application fee is $50.00 and is non-refundable. This fee must be paid at the DA Cashier, Paul Elizondo Tower, 101 W. Nueva, 1st Floor (Hot Check Section Cashier). Cash, cashier’s check or money orders only. No personal, business or law firm checks will be accepted.
The check must be payable to: Bexar County Criminal District Attorney’s Office – PTD Program.
The application must be accurate and fully complete upon submission, including all required supporting documents, or the Defendant will be excluded from the Pre-Trial Diversion Program. The State will not contact the attorney representing the defendant upon receipt of an incomplete or inaccurate application, so please review all documentation carefully before submission. The Bexar County Criminal District Attorney’s Office does not have the personnel and resources to review, notify and help complete or correct any submissions.
The State will attempt to respond within 30 days of the receipt of the Defendant’s application with the decision to approve or disapprove participation in the Pre-Trial Diversion Program. If no response is received within 30 days of submission, please send a follow up email requesting a response.
Notification of acceptance into the PTD Program will be via email to the attorney of record.
If the Defendant is accepted into the program, the attorney must set the case on the Court’s docket within 14 days of notification. The Court will then hear the Agreed Motion for Continuance for the Purpose of Defendant’s Participation in the Pre-Trial Diversion Program.
The Grandfather Clause does NOT apply to a defendant previously rejected from the program, or a defendant within the age range of 17 to 21 who failed to submit an application by the deadline. Do not apply if the defendant fits into either category.

· All supporting documents must be uploaded and scanned to the email address DAPTD@BEXAR.ORG at the same time the actual application is submitted.
The case number must accompany the payment.
· There is a Grandfather Clause for pending cases. If the Defendant would have previously been denied participation due to their age, an application may be submitted within 90 days of the official launch date of this program.
