Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

Criminal Record

I was arrested for a bad check and some traffic violations. I plead not guilty and the judge sent me home time served. It was a Class C misdeamenor. Is this on my criminal record as a conviction. And will this stop me from being admitted to the bar after I finish law school
