Chances of becoming an EMT after a class C misdemeanor
I’m in TX and my own dog bit me. Since I received care at a clinic I had to report the dog bite. I sent animal control photos of my injury, my dog, and his rabies vaccine, so I thought I was cooperating. I was under the impression I didn’t have to initiate an “exit quarantine interview”, and that animal control or the city would have initiated it.
Later, I got a Class C misdemeanor citation saying I failed to surrender him for quarantine within 24 hours. I have court in September.
I’m mostly worried because I’m in EMT school. Is something like this likely to affect EMT certification or EMS hiring in Texas? Also, would it be smart to contact the court/prosecutor before the court date and ask about dismissal or deferred disposition? Anyways thanks. My record is spotless otherwise.
