No record of arrest, yet I know I was.

Hi guys new here and Iook forward to participating.
A little backstory born in Mexico while parents were on vacation grew up in El Paso and have recently moved back after being in California for a bit. About 2 years ago while in California I took and recieved my Utah CCW, since I was born in Mexico, I had to include a copy of my Naturalization Certificate, which I know I will have to do for my Texas CHL as well.
While growing up I was arrested 3-5 times between 89-92(in El Paso) for unpaid parking tickets and speeding tickets. I never saw a Judge, I was just taken to the sub station and once I paid was let go. One time I didn't have the $250 and was sent to county jail for 4 hours where I was fingerprinted and photographed before my friends could come up with the money to get me out.
Knowing I would have to provide documentation for this on my CHL application and not remembering exact dates or years even, I contacted the County Court, who told me they had no records of Class C traffic violations and to contact EPPD and ask them to run a arrest record. I went to the local sub station(the same one I had been to when arrested) filled out the paperwork, paid the fees and a few days later received a document that stated no arrest records on file.
So my question, do I even mention this, or should I basically mention the facts that I have here and include the letter I received form the El Paso Police Department.
Thank you
