Hello all,

I've been looking for this information everywhere but can't find a definitive answer and was directed here. Hopefully someone can answer my question.

I was arrested in August of 2010 for Poss. of Marijuana < 2 oz (I know, I know but I was 18 and just graduated high school; dumb kid stupid mistake). This is the disposition date according to my records. The disposed of date says January of 2011, which is the date I was assigned to deferred adjudication. I completed my adjudication in July of 2011. My question is which of these dates does the 5 year wait for the application begin?

Thanks for any info and help.

It's your disposition date which would be the very last one, when you're finally all done with everything.

Are you sure? Not questioning your response but I happened upon something the admin had posted:

"COURT STATUS B" COURT DISPOSITION DATE 12/26/2007. Any idea why theres two dates?

The 5 year exclusionary period begins on the date you were "convicted" or given deferred adjudication, not when probation is over.

It's confusing so I just want to be sure about the date before I start with the process.

The 5 year disqualification period begins on the date your plea deal was approved by the Judge. There should be an order signed by the Judge.
