Not only are deferred adjudications not automatically expunged, they can never be expunged (unless deferred is for a class c misdemeanor).

You may be eligible to file a petition for non-disclosure, which would basically seal your record from most private entities. This option is not available for all offenses. You should consult with a local attorney to discuss the specifics of your case and determine your eligibility.
