To obtain a deferred prosecution agreement (DPA), a party typically must engage in negotiations with prosecutors to demonstrate cooperation and compliance with legal requirements. This often involves acknowledging wrongdoing, providing information about the misconduct, and implementing corrective measures to prevent future violations. The agreement is usually contingent upon the party meeting specific conditions, such as paying fines or restitution and adhering to a compliance program over a designated period. If the terms of the DPA are fulfilled, the prosecution may be deferred or ultimately dismissed.
A deferred prosecution agreement is not an admission of guilt. It is a legal arrangement where a defendant agrees to fulfill certain requirements, such as completing community service or attending counseling, in exchange for the charges being dropped.

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.
