What is Deferred Adjudication in Texas?
"Deferred Adjudication"
In short, Deferred Adjudication is a type of probation. A defendant is placed on a probation for a certain period of time. If the probation is successfully completed, the case is "dismissed." A defendant will enter a guilty plea, but the judge does not find the defendant guilty and instead "defers" the finding of guilt. Pleading guilty for Deferred Adjudication is not considered a conviction under Texas law. A criminal background check will show the arrest for the charge, will show the Deferred Adjudication, but it will not show a conviction.
Difference between Deferred Adjudication and "Straight" Probation.
The major difference between Deferred Adjudication probation and regular, or "straight" probation, is that the deferred is not considered a conviction and the straight probation is a conviction.
