You have to be much more detailed with your question? Was it a felony, misd? What was the charge? DWI? No one can answer if you simply say "deferred adjudication", way to vague.

It was a felony. Non aggressive or aggravated and no DWI

There is a good chance you are eligible, but are some types of convictions that are a permanent bar.
GC § 411.1711. CERTAIN EXEMPTIONS FROM CONVICTIONS. A person is
not convicted, as that term is defined by Section 411.171, if an order of deferred
adjudication was entered against the person on a date not less than 10 years
preceding the date of the person’s application for a license under this subchapter
unless the order of deferred adjudication was entered against the person for:
(1) a felony offense under:

(B) Chapter 29, Penal Code;
