An order of nondisclosure also legally frees you from disclosing information about your criminal history in response to questions on job applications. You do not need to mention information related to the offense that is the subject of an order of nondisclosure.

What Are the Requirements to Qualify for Early Termination? Follow all terms and conditions listed in their deferred adjudication; Make all required court payments on a timely basis; Finish all court-ordered counseling, treatment or classes; and. Complete all necessary service hours.
