No. You are not allowed to have any dealings with firearms period. You can't have one in your home or automobile. You can't have one in your possession. And you certainly can't sell one. Further if you are caught with a firearm while on probation (regular or deferred adjudication) you will go straight to jail. You will remain there for the maximum sentence allowed by your original charge and you will face separate criminal felony charges relating to the firearm.
That is all true for new buyers if you are on a deferred felony charge you may not purchase a new gun you may how ever keep the ones you already own. I am on a deferred felony and was asked if I had any weapons I answered them and was told I was not allowed to purchase any new guns or carry them with me until after my probation was up. Regular felony you must turn in your protective devices until you have them reinstated to you by the court.

Minor modification- you may not POSSESS a firearm, but you CAN sell it. You will need the help of a person not prohibited from possessing a firearm. For example, THEY could take it to a gun shop for you, and they could buy the gun from you. But you cannot touch it or have access to it.
You need a lawery for a current and legal answer.
No. Not until a final adjudication.
I only know for sure that they may offer deferred adjudication while on probation and once served it can be hidden from public bg checks. It will be visible as a charge until probation is completed
A deferred adjudicated felony is where the court "puts off" a finding of guilt. Most often during a deferred adjudication, the person is put on community supervision. If the term is completed without revocation of probation it will remain a deferred adjudicated and not a conviction. It is important to realize that deferred is not a conviction. There was never a finding of guilt by the court.
No. If you are a convicted felon then you can not possess a firearm. However if the adjudication of guilt was withheld then you may be able to file to have the charge sealed and be eligible at that time to possess one.
Felony
what is a sentence for violated
It WILL be on your record. No one in the US serves time in jail or prison without a record of conviction to justify it.
Yes. Unless it was felony probation. Only felony convictions limit your ability to possess firearms.
Not in the US. If you have been convicted of a felony, it is a violation of Federal law to POSSESS a firearm. Own, yes, possess, no. Covered in 18 US Cobde, section 922.
If you are legally "Convicted" then Adjudication IS NOT Withheld....the whole reason for a Judge to have the option of Adj With is to stop short of convicting....IF you have a felony charge - and adjudication is withheld - you are not convicted....
It depends upon the terms of the agreement itself. A deferred adjudication CAN mean that if you comply with specific terms set out in the agreement, a judgment in your case is never entered on the record, therefore you have NO record. It may also mean that if you comply with the terms, your FELONY will be reduced to a misdemeanor conviction, meaning you DO have a record.
