    Default Pretrial Diversion Federal

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: TEXAS

    I worked for the USPS and in 2006 they said I stole something from the mail in 2005. Lets be clear I did not take anything. Well I went through all the union bs and lost my job anyway (the union used me as a bargining tool on another case) Well I hadnt heard about anything in almost 3 years going about my business etc. Well now I am getting my teaching certification. I have not been charged or arrested etc however I got a letter from the federal court two days ago saying im elgible for pretrial diversion. If I take the pretrial diversion (because I cant afford 10 to 20K to defend myself) will it show up on a criminal background check for a teacher? I have read the other posts but I still have not been charged or arrested etc., and apparently in federal court I dont have to be charged to be offered a pretrial diversion. So if I am not charged but take the pretrial diversion to get this over and done with will it come up on my criminal background check? State of TEXAS

    We don't know anything about the case or charge. If you have been criminally charged, odds are it already shows up on a background check. If this is in lieu of being charged, it may allow you to avoid a formal charge that will show up on a background check, and as a diversion program may also allow you to avoid any official admission of guilt.
