The phrase "deferred adjudication" makes one believe that this was a criminal matter you are referring to rather than a civil matter. Unlike a civil case, findings in criminal matters cannot be barred from the public record.

You need an attorney for an answer to this one, not WikiAnswers. It will vary based on deferred imposition, or deferred adjudication. IF you were found guilty of a crime that bars ownership, but sentencing was suspended, that is different from having a finding of guilt/ innocence deferred. Seriously, talk with an attorney. Being wrong on this would be a life changing event.

Can you get a violation off your record?

In Texas: You are eligible for expunction only if you were charged, but not prosecuted, or if you were found not guilty: either at the court of first instance or on appeal. In some cases, Class C misdemeanors (generally traffic tickets) are also eligible for expunction. If you received a pardon from the Governor you are also eligible. An Order of Nondisclosure, on the other hand, can be obtained by those who have undergone a deferred adjudication and who have committed an offense where the law allows deferred adjudication. In addition, they have not received any further conviction beyond a Class C misdemeanor

Is a person considered a convicted felon if they pleaded guilty and agreed to deferred adjudication?

Yes, a person who pleads guilty and agrees to deferred adjudication is generally considered a convicted felon, as the plea establishes a conviction. However, the deferred adjudication allows for the possibility of avoiding a formal conviction if the individual successfully completes the terms of their probation or court-imposed conditions. If they fulfill these requirements, the case can potentially be dismissed, and the individual may not have a conviction on their record. Nonetheless, during the period of deferred adjudication, they are often treated as having a conviction for various legal purposes.
