Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

A few months ago I was fired from a retail job for theft. The official reason for termination was policy violation. There were no police involved, however I did sign papers I wasn't really sure about. Recently, I heard that signing those papers could have been some kind of conviction. Is this true? I have no idea what to do.
