I received a ticket for speeding in Texas 8 years ago. I did not pay the ticket due to extreme financial hardships I had at the time. I saw the ticket on my credit report in 2013 and called in and paid it. Because I didn't pay it for so long, I was also charged with "failure to appear". I just found out that both the speeding ticket and failure to appear are misdemeanors in Texas. The problem is I indicated on Amcas that I did not have any misdemeanors because never in a million years did I think a minor traffic violation would result in something like this. In my state, all moving violations are just considered "traffic offenses." I work in a hospital and am a licensed healthcare professional and this has never been brought up in any background check before. Please help, how do I handle this? I've overcome so much to get to this point and now I'm terrified I've ruined my chance at my dream.
