That was a deferred disposition agreement. In basic terms, you signed a agreement to stay out of trouble for 90 days on the condition that the state doesnt press full charges. That is not a dismissal... When a case is dismissed, you dont sign anything, the judge tells you its dismissed and you walk out the door, there is no "signing"..
If dismissal is the agreed-upon outcome for successful completion, a person still might find that the initial entry of a guilty plea carries serious consequences....
Your main priority right now should not be trying to get your CHL back, its too late for that now.... But you should concentrate now on getting that record expuncted, wait the 5 yr period required and then reapply for your CHL...
Welcome to the forum.
I would ask how you know for sure that what was signed was an order for deferred adjudication and that charges were not dismissed? Not all cases and courts have the same requirements in their paperwork process.
I would still suggest the OP get he disposition and once he sees for sure what the final is, then he can make a determination of how to proceed. Anything advice other than that received across the forum from people that are not directly involved should not be binding.
