I get it.. We create the resolution of "Deferred Adjudication" and indicate that it isn't a conviction.
Then we create laws (licenses) that treat it as a conviction.
The joys of government.

Had a buddy who did something stupid to an ex girlfriend in college and ended up with a burglary of habitation charge that got deferred. As you know, a DA of 30.02 (c)(2) is a perminent disqual for CHL. He completed it and waited his 5 years and then his lawyer filed to have it nondisclosed. He called down to Austin and they said because of that order of nondisclosure he was GTG for a CHL. He has it now. I have heard of others who did it for non-disqualifying offenses and were able to get a CHL in 5 years instead of waiting the whole 10.
Right, C is going to require some sort of legal action or disposition that isn't "deferred adjudication". IE - it'll cost more or the judge has to indicate it.
I don't exactly understand the point of deferred adjudication if the state treats it like a conviction in some cases...
And in terms of getting it sealed or having it expunged, the problem is that the data has already been sold down stream. It can take decades to actually fall off of a search.

Curious - how does it qualify?AJSully421 wrote:Call your lawyer, have them file to try to get an order of nondisclosure on that. That qualifies as being "Expunged, set aside, vacated, etc.".
