If The State Can Prove Everything, Is There Still A Way I Can Get This Theft/Shoplifting Case Dismissed and Expunged From My Record? Yes! Even if the police can prove every element of theft beyond a reasonable doubt, there is a very chance we would be able to get your theft case dismissed. This could be achieved by securing a conditional dismissal or a dismissal because of a Tarrant County Diversion Program. First, A conditional dismissal is a way to resolve a case that works much like a contract. The Prosecutor agrees to dismiss your case in exchange for you completing terms and conditions in advance. Your criminal defense attorney must negotiate directly with the prosecutor and persuade them to dismiss the case in exchange for one or many of these possible conditions: community service hours, completion of a theft class, proof of employment, etc. Second, What about the Diversion Program Options available to you on a theft case.
