I was arrested in 1997, in San Antonio, Texas for pushing a drunk and disorderly female away from my vehicle by her neck and face.

After she had assaulted me, kicked me in the groin, punched me in the teeth, scratched my face, stole my car keys, etc..I called the police. While I was waiting for the police to arrive, she threw the keys at my face. She then took a brick and attacked my sportscar. She damaged my hood, broke my windshield, and even broke my headlights. I pushed her away from my car by her neck and face.

When the police showed up, she told them I had choked her, and they arrested me. They did not even give me the option of pressing charges against her. Horrified by what was happening, she refused to press charges against me, so the officers made sure the State of Texas did.

I plead "No Contest", per my (idiot) lawyer's advice. I was given Deferred Adjudication, probabtion, Anger Management Classes, and fines! The official charge at the time was; "Assault-Bodily Injury"..then it was changed to;"Assault-Non-Bodily Injury-MARRIED.

I'm not sure how it appears in the court records, but I have been pulled over for speeding before, and when they run my record to check for warrants, it only comes up as a Misdemeanor Assault. In other areas of my paperwork and records I've seen, the term; "Family Violence" is mentioned.

We were together about 2 years before this incident, and we had not really spoken until that day. I even had another girlfriend! We never lived together, we never MARRIED and never had sexual intercourse, before or after this incident!. Although this happened 8 years ago, it is ruining my life! I cannot get a job without someone throwing this in my face. I need help! I could try to get an expungement myself, but I need someone who can dig deeper than I can and knows what to look for. PLEASE HELP!
