I to have the same problem. I was arrested in 2004 for two very serious charges. I'm a good person, have always done the right thing, I always was very mature around my family and friends. I was in the wrong place at the wrong time WITH THE WRONG PEOPLE, When I was 18 and still in high school. I was arrested for felony aggravated assult, and fellony contributing to a minor. I was only a couple of months older then the people I was with. Let's just say I did not assault anybody! I just was with the wrong people. Everyone has done stupid things when they were young. My stupid mistake was hanging around these people.
Anyway since this was my first (and only) offence, I did pre-trial intervention. The charges were dismissed. I emailed TX DPS chl department and told them my story in detail. They told me I would be fine as long as I had the final disposition paper work with my app I would send in. I think you will be ok as well. Let me know if it works out for you.
