What is the difference between an adjudication and withhold of adjudication?
The term adjudication is synonymous with conviction. If the court agrees to withhold adjudication, this means you are not formally convicted of the charge. If adjudication is withheld on a felony, this means you are not a convicted felon and your Constitutional rights are not affected. On a misdemeanor charge, neither an adjudication nor a withhold of adjudication will interfere with your right to vote. A conviction on some misdemeanor offenses will have an effect of your driver’s license or right to bear arms. Some charges require an adjudication under the statutes.
