"Adjudicated" is a word that means 'the decision of the court,' and it means that the defendant was sentenced to some kind of sentence that did not have to be served behind bars. Perhaps community service or some type of loose probation.
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.
The correctional alternative that permits offenders to serve their sentence under supervision in the community os called probation.

You don't get to affirm your own community service hours. Community serivce, in my experience is ALWAYS done under the supervision of some individual, or some organization, who then confirms to the court, via sworn paperwork, that you performed the required community service hours under their supervision.
When something is non adjudicated it means it has not been legally decided. It is not binding, because it is not legally done.
