Hello admin
I have received two class B misdemeanor charges on me over a couple of checks i wrote that I didnt have the money in the bank to cover. Well It happened in march of 2008. I had no idea about writing checks it was my first check book i had ever had. I knew people could over draw there account and put money back into it to cover it. Well my checks got sent to the DA. I wanted to know how to get these off my record. I have never done anything wrong my record was clean until that.

What I know at least in the state of Texas is that any petit offenses committed by minors ( under 18 yrs old) wont be displayed in his record once turn 18 yrs old is like if the file got locked and like if the offense never existed.

to Andrew> the elements of a crime are Actus Reus ( criminal act), Mens Rea ( gulty mind) causation and the harm you produce to victim, even u might not did it with other intention more than make fun of your friend or classmate or whatever she/he is , at the moment you took other’s personal information with out their consense that fact is the crime, so be carefull, I really wish they dont press charges against you and hopefully you learn the lesson Son. Good Luck!
