Adjudication is an agreement between the defendant and the courts to clear the charge from the docket. For this to occur, the defendant has agreed to complete some sort of arrangement, such as a fine, community service, etc. If the defendant fails to hold up their end of the agreement, then he or she will be convicted of the charge and sentenced accordingly. That conviction will come up in our reports.
Adjudication Witheld means you werent convicted,but then you werent Aquitted either.Sometimes the State specifies to dismiss the charges after your probation completed which equals to the same as Aquitted.On all of these you keep your rights,and on a job application you can legally say you werent convicted.

If you are convicted of a felony and adjudication is withheld does that mean that you lose your right to vote and bear arms?
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....
Can adjudication withheld be cleared off your record?
It still is on your record, only it does not show up as a conviction, you are just not declared guilty of the offense.

Does adjudication withheld keep you from getting a job?
It is not the adjudication withheld that may prevent employment. It is the public arrest record that may prove difficult.
What does it mean to have Withheld Adjudication forward slash CTS on your case?
CTS probably stands for credit for time served. Withheld adjudication basically means that the defendant was not adjudicated guilty, which will preserve his civil rights once the sanctions are completed. It should be noted that credit for time served will probably not result in a withholding of adjudication because credit for time served is actually a sentence, which cannot be withheld if such sentences pronounced.
Is a person considered a convicted felon if there was adjudication withheld and only served a probation period?
No, I was offered this type of Probation in TX, the Judge told me that if I completed my probation that there would be no record of conviction.
If you had adjudication withheld for a speeding ticket will your insurance rates be affected?
I've had three "ADJUDICATION WITHHELD"s for speeding in the last 14 months and my insurance rates have not been effected.
What does it mean when my Disposition reads withheld adjudication with special condition?
Adjudication withheld generally means that while the judge decided you were guilty, he didn't officially enter a conviction on your record. Instead, you were probably placed on probation, and if you complete your probation satisfactorily, you can probably petition to have that removed from your record. If you violate your probation, most likely the disposition will be changed to officially read that you were convicted.
If someone is sentenced as a youth offender and has adjudication withheld can their second amendment be infringed upon?
You don't say what the offense was, but if you received an 'Adjudication Withheld' it seems likely that it was not felony offense. In that case it seems unlikely that your 2nd Amendment rights were curtailed. (By the way: If your 2nd Amendment rights were curtailed by statute law, it is NOT an "infringement.")
Is adjudicated guilty the same as a conviction for a job application.?
Please understand that this is not legal advice. That said, the answer to this question depends on what state you're in. In some states, like Kentucky, an adjudication is equal to a conviction. In other states, like Michigan and Virginia, which make "adjudication" and "conviction" legally different things (like for instance, a juvenile adjudication versus adult conviction) an adjudication is NOT a conviction. Federal law concurs. In a case where two men with juvenile records were arrested as "felons in possession" of firearms, US District courts rules that in states that make the distinction, a person adjudicated of a crime is NOT prohibited from possessing a firearm since they have not be convicted.
Is deferred adjudication the same as adjudication withheld?
