    Default Caught shoplifting at WalMart

    Earlier this year, I was caught shoplifting at a Wal-Mart. They took the merchandise along with my info. I then received a citation to be booked a month later. I failed to show on that date, but I did show the day after. The police officer at the jail told me that he did not have my name in the system and sent me to the county clerk's office. There, they also told me that they didn't have me in the system and to contact the police officer that was the witness at the store. I tried to contact the officer, but he never returned my calls. I contacted a criminal defense lawyer who told me to document the dates and times of everyone that I had spoken to. I did just that. After about 3 months, the lawyer told me that he couldn't find anything on me and I should just relax. He also said that if a problem came up, that I should then contact him. 6 months has passed and I never received a civil demand letter or anything like that. What's going on? I would really like to get this over with.

    Default Lost in the system

    It's possible that a clerical error occurred somewhere along the line, which has caused your file to be misplaced or improperly entered into the system. As you have a lawyer, the best person to ask about what is likely to happen is your lawyer.
