More details to this question:
I got caught stealing $211.45 worth of clothes. They called the police but only gave me a misdemeanor class B and will have to pay a $395 fee. I have a court date of May 24th. This is my first offense and I don't want it to stay on my permanent record. I need to know what to do since I don't want it on my record. I don't have money since I'm a student. I am in Texas.

Don't represent yourself. Ask for court appointed lawyer if you cannot afford one. A mistake on this charge can destroy the benefits of your education.
