    Exclamation Criminal Background Checks After Getting Caught Shoplifting

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Washington and Texas

    My friend and I were caught shoplifting at Walmart in the state of Washington. We both had over &50 worth of merchandise. The cops were called and we were arrested although we didn't go to jail. We went to court and we both got Diversions for our crime. 10 hours cc, A Consumer Awareness Class, and $250 in fines. This happened about 1 month ago and I've got to keep my record clean for a year and it will go away.

    Now me and my family are moving to Texas and my dad has to get criminal background checks on everyone in the house over 18, if we want to be able to rent the house we are looking at. I REALLY don't want him to find out I got arrested and I don't want our chances of getting the house screwed because of stupid mistake I made. Will this charge show up on the background check the relater will perform since there was no conviction?

    He's gonna find out sooner or later

    Depends on the kind of background check, there are a number
    available. . . some show little, others show all

    It could show as an arrest

    It will show as an arrest.

    The diversion hasn't kicked in yet.

    I know in some states it shows as pending upon completion of diversion/probation etc.

    The best policy is to be honest now as it will help in the long run.
