Texas Infidelity

Will my Class C misdemeanor charge keep me from getting teaching certification?
Almost 2 years ago, my ex-fiance and I got into a fight due to his infidelity…I went over to his house, and after a lot of yelling-he pinned me to the wall, and my reaction was to punch him-well he called the cops on me, and in the state of Texas-one party must go to jail in a domestic dispute. Since I was at his house, it was me…so now I have a Class C Family Assault Charge on my record and I am in an alternative teaching certification program to teach. Will this keep me from teaching? Do I need to give up while I still can? It’s the same class as a traffic ticket but….PLEASE HELP!!!
You will still be able to get a certification, but you may not pass the background check. I had a friend who had to fight for a whole year because her background check came back with a flag… she had gotten a ticket (and pled guilty) because her dog hadn’t been properly licensed.
It may be easier to get a job in a school system where they can’t be as “picky”. Perhaps an inner city job.
