    Post Domestic Violence, Class A Misdemeanor Charge

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: TEXAS
    the police report says:
    The victim advised that her and the defendent got into verbal altercation that turned physical when the Def.grabbed her and pushed her to the ground.The victim advised she was able to fight back and kicked the Def. knocking him to the ground.The victim sustained brusing to her left arm and advised that she felt pain from injury.The victim also advised of pain in her right knee and her back becuase of the physical altercation.

    My Lawyer said he can ( try to) get it dismissed without a trial. Later he sent the letter "Your case has been scheduled for a trial on so and so date . I have made many attempts at getting this case dismissed, but the State has yet to agree to a dismissal. That being said, I set the matter trial".
    My wife went to DA office and got this below from DA .
    "9 months deferred + $500 fine + AFFV + BIPP ( 6 mths of anger mgmt) + DVVIP (1 day class)"

    1) 9 months deffered - Does it mean the case will be "dismissed" after 9 months? Can I expunge after 2 years?
    2) whatever DA said - Is it same as "conditional dismissal"?
    3) if No, what can be expected from trial , for my case ?
    what would be right path from here?
    Thanks in advance.

    A deferral would normally involve the dismissal of the charge following the successful completion of a period of probation or supervision. You can seek expungement of a Class C misdemeanor following deferral; for other offenses, following successful completion of deferral and the statutory waiting period, you can seek to have the charge sealed.

    If you are confused about the terms of the plea offer, talk to your lawyer.

    If you have a specific question about trial, ask it. If not, the question "what can be expected from trial" would necessitate a book-length answer.
