What happens after the end date of my deferred adjudication?
I just finished my deferred adjudication. My end date on my offender card says the 15th of this month. My probation officer says I would get a letter in the mail releasing me; I have not. I looked on the county district clerk’s website and it still shows status as pending completion of probation. Why have I not been officially released? Am I still technically on probation? I have travel plans and non-refundable airline tickets for vacation on the 1st of next month, that’s 16days after my term ended. Can I still go? How long will it take to receive this dismissal form?

Custom and practice in the judicial system is to have an actual hearing date in a court room where the court releases you per an order as to your deferred adjusication assuming you were successful as to it.
Most likely you will be getting notice of such in the mail. If you have not, I suggest that you go down to the county clerk's office at the court house and ask the court clerk as to what the status is of your criminal matter.
