    Default Texas shoplifting

    I feel stupifd for doing this, but while grocery shopping at Albertson's I got caught shoplifting some hair product and shampoo. It came up to be 22$.

    The guy caught me outside and took me to the room, With my luck, right at that time there were cops shopping and they were there to assist. I asked them nicely to just let me get away with a store fine, the manager was going to but the cop said I "I am already wrting a ticket". So he said just go ahead and do it write it. I signed a paper where I cant come back to that location again.

    The cop explained me that the ticket will run at $335. I believe if I pay the ticket, that means I'll have a record on that.

    I can't have any criminal charges on my record for career purposes. im a 21 year old male with a clear record.

    What should I do and is there a way to avoid this?

    Im kind of tight on money, so it will be hard for me to afford a lawyer, but I'll definetly find a way if I need to.

    The officer gave you a citation for shoplifting? I suggest that you do look into getting help from a criminal defense lawyer or, when court proceedings start, consider a court-appointed lawyer.
