Class C misdemeanor in Texas

Friends ,

I got a citation for Leaving a child in the vehicle  (for over 5 mins) . Even though there was no danger to my child (as i could see him from the store that evening) i was given a class c misdemeanor ticket . I realized later this was against the law and how stupid i was since the cop was standing right next to me  . I got a deferred disposition and now after the probation the case was dismissed (no arrest , no finger print ).Paid fine and the municipal court told me that this is dismissed and file shredded . I realize i have to answer yes to the DS-160 arrest question now .

Have you ever been arrested or convicted for any offense or crime, even though subject of a pardon, amnesty, or other similar action?

Even thought i wasn't arrested i understand that deferred disposition is a pardon.   Would this impact my visa stamping in anyway ?  I will be talking to an immigration lawyer tomorrow but i was curious to know if there is someone here who has seen this kind of an offense here  ?

Thanks
