If you have been arrested a
criminal record was created in your name. Many people believe
that if their case was dismissed or were never convicted they do
not have a criminal record. Unfortunately this is not the
case!
A criminal record or rap
sheet, is a compilation of an individual's identification,
arrest, conviction (law), incarceration, legal status, sex
offender registration, warrant information, and other
relevant criminal history.
Its primary goal is to provide a
comprehensive criminal history for an individual to be used
for many purposes, including for identification, assistance
in developing suspects in an ongoing criminal investigation,
and for enhanced sentencing in criminal prosecutions.

What is
deferred adjudication? |
|
|
|
Deferred adjudication is a court
decision at any point after filing of a criminal complaint, to
continue court jurisdiction but stop short of pronouncing
judgment. This is to avoid the undesirable effects of
correction.
Deferred Adjudication is a plea
bargain in which formal judgment
is withheld or "deferred" pending the outcome of a probation
period. If an individual is given deferred adjudication and he
or
she successfully completes the probation and conditions assigned
by the court, the charges are dismissed.
Even though a successfully completed deferred adjudication will
ultimately result in charges being dismissed by the criminal
court, it is extremely important to take note of the fact that
two very important records will remain in existence... and will
be viewable by the general public:
-
The original arrest record
which contains the arresting officers notes, reports, etc.
This arrest record will also usually contain police
investigator's notes, photographs, confessions, or any other
evidence seized or testimony taken during an arrest.
-
The record of the action of
the court. This document is usually the order of probation
that you, the defendant signed in order to qualify for
deferred adjudication.
 If you have a
general question, make sure it isn't currently answered in our
frequently asked questions
