The court will then make a final adjudication and give a sentence. This sentence comes with certain standards that the offender has to comply with. This usually happens when the defendant is sentenced to a certain number of years in prison with another few years on probation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Probation occurs after a plea has been entered, usually when the criminal case has resulted in a conviction. By a deferred adjudication agreement, the court delays the case\u2019s final ruling. If the offender completes the term of agreement without any violations, the charges will be dismissed without conviction. The defendant who has accomplished this can also expunge the case records. Expungement means to completely destroy or erase a criminal conviction case.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding the terms of probation is the first step into getting through your case.
