What is Deferred Disposition?
In some cases, you may request deferred adjudication from the Court. If you have a good driving record, and you are not currently on deferred disposition, you may make a request to the Court. Deferred disposition means you will be placed on probation for a period ranging from 3 to 6 months and pay court costs and an Administrative Fee.
You must appear in person to request Deferred Adjudication.
Defendants under the age of 25 requesting deferred disposition are required to take a mandatory Defensive Driving Course.
A defendant who is younger than 17 years of age must appear in Court with a parent, guardian, or managing conservator, to enter a plea.
If you successfully comply with the terms of your probation without receiving a moving violation anywhere in the State of Texas, the original charge will be dismissed. Conditions of deferred disposition may include: Defensive Driving, Alcohol or Tobacco Awareness, Community Service or any other program required by law or the Court.
You may contact our court for more information at 281-238-3000.
