Deffered Adj still counts as a conviction as far as more serious crimes correct?

Example: Class A Family Violence/Bodily Injury/Assault - even with a deffered adjudication it will disqualify you right?

Wrong again.

My bad I guess. Educate us with the pertcentages. BTW what was my first wrong?

Not meaning YOU were wrong again...just that somebody in this thread was wrong again (sometimes I can't keep track)

Sroth's numbers are right by law, but I don't know of a city making anything near 30% of revenue for citations. By the time you factor in paying for courts, police departments, and either jail or jail sub-contract prices, you'll definitely be pulling out of taxpayer dollars. LE is not a self supporting field. Even cases that we work, the state and county get their cut. Gotta pay for TLETS, TCIC/NCIC, judges, and CAs/DAs. It's not a very profitable field for the governments.

IIRC, deferred adjudication on a class B still has the same CHL issues as any other class B conviction.

Correct. Deferred adjudication == conviction.
