Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

Legal question

If a person elected to use the Pre-Trial Diversion Program for a misdemeanor offence, what will be the best answer for the following:

Have you ever been convicted of, or entered a plea of guilty, nolo contendere, or no contest to, a crime in any jurisdiction other than a minor traffic offense? You must put all misdemeanor and felonies, even if adjudication was withheld by the court so that you would not have a record of conviction.
