Re: deferred judification

Deferred adjudication means that the judge has found that there is sufficient evidence to find you guilty, but does not find you guilty. Instead after satisfying certain conditions (payment of fees, no tickets in a certain time period) then the judge will dismiss the ticket, upon receipt of your notification signed within 30 days of the period of time.

If you violate the conditions, then the judge can find you guilty, convict you and sentence the full range allowed.
