Information on Deferred Adjudication
On most violations you may request Deferred Adjudication. If deferred is granted you will be assessed court costs, plus an adminstrative fee and told the amount of time your deferred wil last (30 to 180 days). Your deferred begins when you pay court cost and administrative fee. The length of your deferred will be determined when you appear in court. You MUST appear on your assigned arraignment date.
In order for your violation to be dismissed by deferred, you must not have any moving violations appear on your driving record during your deferred period. If no violations appear on your driving record during your deferred period, your violation will be dismissed. If a moving violation appears on your driving record during your deferred period, you will be sent a Show Cause letter to appear before the Judge. The Judge may then revoke your deferred and place the violation with our Court on your driving record. |
