Texas law — deferred adjudication. Under Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Art. 42A, a court may defer proceedings on a guilty plea, place the defendant on community supervision, and dismiss the charge on successful completion. Deferred adjudication is not a conviction — it is tracked as a distinct disposition in these records. The documented conviction rate ranged from 15.5% to 40.9% year over year (2010–2026).
