Deferred adjudication

I have one disposition to submit for being arrested for driving while license suspended. I know I'm clear with that but my question is do I have to submit anything for deferred adjudication on traffic offenses? I read that deferred adjudication counts as conviction for chl purposes. I wasn't arrested for anything else. The traffic infractions were over 10 years ago if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance for any help/advice.

Class C or B?

I would assume class c. They were speeding (I was 16, imagine that) and no insurance were the worst I had other than the suspended license.

That got me thinking. I looked at the penal code and found this
(3) "Class C misdemeanor" if the offense is punishable by fine only.
They would have been c's because they never included jail time as a possible outcome. Right?
