Art. 45.023. DEFENDANT’S PLEA. (a) After the jury is impaneled, or after the defendant has waived trial by jury, the defendant may:
(1) plead guilty or not guilty;

or

Article 27.16(b), C.C.P., allows a defendant charged with a
misdemeanor for which the maximum possible punishment is
by fine only, in lieu of entering a plea in open court, to mail to the
court a plea of not guilty.

Answer

For a class c misdemeanor, you can retain an attorney who can appear in court on your behalf and negotiate a plea bargain without your appearance. If you want to plead not guilty and have a trial, you must personally in court, whether you retain an attorney or not. Contact an attorney in the county where the case is pending.
