From what I have read, and I am no expert on this, it will depend on exactly how the deferred adjudication was entered in the court records. Some courts have required a finding of guilt, then sentenced the person to probation, and then found the person not guilty when the probation was completed. Under DPS rules, this counts as a conviction.

But, some courts also used deferred adjudication as a form of pre-trial diversion. In these cases, the judge ordered the probation with no plea or finding of guilt. After the probationw as completed, the case was dismissed. If this is what happened, you might be eligible for a CHL.

I would agree with everyone else and suggest the Utah license. It would avoid the problem and be much easier.
