I'm Desperately Needing An Answer!!!


What is the name of your state? TX
I was arrested a few days ago for stealing money from my job. Actually, what happened was, I refunded an item and pocketed the money. It was for $130. I fessed up to it only because the girl in the room with me told me she wouldn't charge me with all of the other counts of past theft experiences they were investigating if I gave them the money for this encounter and also said what happened with everything else. I fessed up to everything in a written statement, and now she's saying she never said that in the first place. I bonded out of jail the next morning for $500. I don't know my court date yet. I am very scared about what will happen next. I am 22 years old and I work for the state as a second job (a very good job) and I want to know if this is going to affect that. I was told this was a class b misdemeanor. Does that come up on a criminal check? Will my old job put a warrant out for my arrest to charge me with the other theft charges, or will they put that all in the case against me now for the $130. This is my first time in jail and in any trouble. Will I get jail time for this? What is my punishment going to likely be, and how much in fees will I be out? The other stuff I fessed up to totaled to about $700. Is there anything I can do/say considering this is my word against hers? Please help me!!! I'm so scared!
