It all depends on the wording of the sentence the judge imposed. Successfully completing probation usually only saves you from having to go to prison.
It is only if the judge specifically stated that successful completion would erase the offense will it happen.
A suspended imposition of sentence (SIS) is a closed record after probation is successfully completed.
If you successfully complete the term of your probation, and all its requirements, the finding of guilty will be removed from the records. If you do NOT successfully complete the entire terms of your probation, the guilty sentence will immediately be activated and you will be found Guilty and serve the remainder of your sentence. However, even if you successfully complete your probation even though there will be no record of your conviction, the record of your arrest and the charge will still exist.
There is no set length of time but you MUST have successfully completed the full term of your sentence before you can petition the court for expungement.
Not enough specific information is supplied in the question in order to answer completely.If you were convicted of a felony, pronounced guilty, and received probation as your sentence, you are STILL a convicted felon whether you successfully completed your probation or not.If you received probation before the court adjudged you - contingent upon your completing probation satisfactorily - (usually referred to as PBJ), AND you were subsequently declared Not Guilty by the court, then the record of your conivction SHOULD be clear of a felony conviction.HOWEVER: Arrest records maintained by the law enforcement agency and your court record will always reflect that you were arrested and charged with a felony.Unless you petitioned and had your record expunged your record will still exist, and this could cause you some problems.For a completely felony-clear record you should take action to have your record expunged. CAUTION: Even if expunged, although no longer available to "the public" the record of your conviction, or non-conviction, will ALWAYS be available to government agencies, law enforcement, and the courts.
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.
yes
A felony stays on your record for life. You could apply to the court to have it expunged.
If your sentence is successfully completed you can petition the court to have your record expunged. You must set forth the reason(s) why your request should be granted. It is NOT automatically granted. A judge will consider your motion and either grant or deny it.
If you are on felony probation it indicates that you have not yet completed the sentence for your offense, meaning that you are not yet eligible to have your record expunged, which means you cannot vote.
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.
In Arizona a class 3 dangerous felony can have a maximum sentence of up to 15 years with no prior record. A dangerous class 3 felony is not eligible for probation.
He probably has to check in with his probation/ parole officer.
