I am applying for a job as a county dispatcher in Texas. The application asks if you have ever been convicted of a crime in civilian or military court, and for this purpose, conviction of a criminal offense includes paid fine, time served, placed on probation and court ordered restitution. Do minor traffic violations (oper. w/o registration and defective muffler) count as a misdemeanor, felony, or should I not list these, as they are my only legal offenses? Thanks for your help.

those are non criminal traffic offenses
I would not report them because they may think you are a bit of a moron for doing so. But you might want to ask them to clarify, explain to them you got a traffic infranction, it's really never an issue, a traffic infraction isn't, but you want to be sure to be thorough.

Depends on the ticket. Most of them are just Violations. But, Reckless Driving is a misdemeanor.

Traffic tickets are neither misdemeanors nor felonies, and you don't have to list them on an employment form.

Personally, I wouldnt list them...I dont think they matter unless the job you are applying for involves driving.
