I suggest you approach the city attorney, county attorney, or prosecutor and see if he or she will make a deal.

You decide what you can offer to make it all go away. A brief explanation about your TDCJ stint, your efforts to rehabilitate yourself, and your need to have a license to commute back and forth to work are good starters, but be brief.

Most lawyers in the Hill Country charge about $1,500 to $3,500 to work your kind of case.
