In 1995 Deferred Adjudication was dismissed for possession of marijuana less than 2 ounces. Want to apply for job but afraid this will deter serious consideration.

Answer

If the case you describe was dismissed by successful completion of a deferred adjudication probation, you should be able to file a petition for non-disclosure on the matter. Contact an attorney in the county where the probation was granted, and should be able to get some help.
