(b) Notwithstanding any other law, a county, justice, or municipal court shall dismiss a charge against a defendant alleging the defendant committed an offense under Section 25.093, Education Code, if the parent completes the terms of an agreement entered into by the parent and the school district at which the parent's child attends under Section 25.094, Education Code, within the period required by Subsection (b) of that section.
