i dont know about texas. and all my experience has been with felonies

But if it is criminal, it will be on your record. It may not show the conviction, but in some fields, it might as well been.

My wife was charged with 2 felonies and took 12 months probation, adjudication withheld. its done with but now she is studying for a professional license in a field I do not wish to reveal (nothing wrong, just too much info can lead to someone knowing me). the board has rules that ask if she has been convicted of a crime, or arrested even if adjudication was withheld, or been arrested of anything with moral perpitude, whatever that means. So even though the conviction is not there, she has to explain the arrest and the outcome. theres a chance shes taking the online class and studying and can be denied.

Applying for a liquor license also involves the same deal.

now if you are applying for a normal job, you should be fine.

Plus, its a misdemeanor, you are 18 and in a few years, if anyone finds out or you are forced to reveal, you should be fine. an 18 year old getting high? OMG no way, thats never happened before!!!

I have heard that there are some police departments so desperate for help, they will consider someone with a criminal history if no felonies.

One word of advise, dont screw up probation if you get that. When you violate, its up to the judge to determine your sentence up to the maximum for that charge (which probably isnt much)


take a chill, lay off the weed for a while and you'll be fine.
