While you are in the deferred adjudication period, a background check will likely find a pending criminal action. You can see if this is brought forward by your prospective employer or use your deferred adjudication as an offer of proof that you are unlikely to be convicted in this matter. just had a background check and its shows, and shows ACTIVE. It should of fell off and disappeared. This makes me very angry. VERY. I trying to get on fulltime and this just shows what a joke the judicial system is.
