Can I get an order of non-disclosure if have completed felony deferred adjudication and5 years have passed?

I was placed on deferred adjudication for sexual assault sex with a minor when I was 19. I did not have to register as a sex offender and completed the deferred adjudication. Now 5 years have passed and I was wondering if it is possible for me to get an order of non-disclosure?

If you have successfully completed the requirements for the deferred adjudication of the crime that you were charged with where five years have passed, you should consult with a criminal defense attorney about simply filing a motion to dismiss the charge or charges against you since there has been no conviction or guilty plea in light of the deferred adjudication that you have written about.

If the motion to dismiss is granted, then you should have no reference of this particular criminal matter on your record. As part of the motion, you should seek to have the case against you sealed.
