When adjudication is withheld, you typically retain the right to avoid a formal conviction on your record, provided you meet the terms set by the court, such as completing probation or paying fines. You generally have the right to appeal any conditions imposed during the adjudication process. It's important to understand that while adjudication is withheld, the case may still appear on your criminal record, but it may be eligible for expungement under certain circumstances. Always consult with a legal professional for guidance specific to your situation.

It is not the adjudication withheld that may prevent employment. It is the public arrest record that may prove difficult.
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.")
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.
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....
No, adjudication withheld does not mean expungement. When adjudication is withheld, it means that the court has not entered a formal conviction but may still hold the case open under certain conditions, such as probation. Expungement, on the other hand, is a legal process that removes a conviction or arrest from a person's criminal record entirely. While adjudication withheld can sometimes lead to the possibility of expungement, they are distinct legal concepts.
