FELONS: Deferred Adjudications are 10% of Texas "Felonies"

DAs or Deferred Felonies are now 10% of TX Felonies

Not being a lawyer, I'm never quite sure on how to address this portion of my business. It seems most apartments don't care but a few are realizing that this is a different segment of the marketplace and they can have rules accepting Deferred Felonies but not felony convictions. Since a deferred adjudication for a felony isn't technically a conviction, this can be done.

However, until the record is expunged, the felony arrest throws most apartment complexes off and they will normally reject you UNLESS I HAVE SPOKEN TO THEM. Frankly, at many complexes, I understand their Resident Rental Criteria (in regards to the criminal section) better than most leasing agents do. After all, this is my speciality.

So there are apartments in each of the TX metros that take DAs:

- As soon as possible, regardless of the charge (except for Sex crimes)

- At an accelerated time frame than a conviction

- At the same time frame as a conviction

- Will offer specials for a DA but not for convictions

- Will accept certain DA crimes but not others (like Drug distribution or Violence)
