Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Texas

I called the District Attorny's offfice in my area (smith county) regarding Class C theft (<$20). the ticket given has a address of Municipal court and they said that they have nothing to do with this case since it is a Municipal Court Case. does this mean that this will not be in my record . do i still have to have a attorney for this case Or speak to the municipal prosecutor for further processing.

I also called the Municipal Cort, the number in the ticket and they told me to wait until the system shows the name of the accused.

i am too much worried since i know this is a blunder , but not intention of steals and has no circumstance to support. so should i accept guilty.

thank you

Just because it is a Municipal case does not mean that the arrest and disposition will not go on your record. I suggest you hire an attorney.

If you are going to plead guilty, try to get deferred disposition/adjudication sentence offer. Prosecutors tend to pay more attention to lawyers than to defendants
