Default Misdemeanour Question

I was arrested in 2005 for a stupid Class C Misdemeanor for peeing in public. I was booked downtown and charged. The next day with the local judge I put in a plea of no contest and paid a fine and completed six hours of community service which satisfied the requirments for the case to be dismissed.

In 2008 had the case expunged by lawyer.

Since then I have checked my Texas DPS record by fingerprinting and that came back as "No arrest record".

I have also done the FBI Background Check with fingerprints and that came back as "No Arrest Record - FBI".

I have looked through my Expunction documentation and it states that when you have expunged your record "under Texas law you you may deny the occurrence of the arrest and the existence of the expunction order unless you are questioning under oath in a criminal proceeding"

So my question is should I include this on airline applications if I have the right to deny it ever happened?

Thanks for your help.
