Deferred Adjudication defined:
Deferred adjudication basically means that the final judgment in a situation has been deferred until a later time.  Between the announcement of deferred adjudication and the time when final judgment will be announced, the charged individual is given the chance or opportunity to do something that will result in the crime not being listed as a “guilty” sentence on his or her record.

For many small or minor crimes, an individual who has maybe no prior arrests or convictions will be given the opportunity to keep his or her record clean through deferred adjudication.  A judge will give an individual an opportunity to complete community service hours or an alcohol awareness class.

Deferred adjudication can be a plea bargain agreement between a defendant and the court.  The final or formal judgment is withheld, postponed, or deferred until the end of a probation period.  If the individual completes the probation period successfully, the charges are dismissed.  In addition to the probation period, a person may have several conditions to meet that the court assigns.
