I guess that my guilt or innocence is irrelevant at this point, but I accepted a plea because I had alot to lose and I was scared. The crime was not violent, there are no claims of beating anyone up or anything like that. Assult someone is to cause emotional distress, and I think assult an battery is to beat someone up. I suppose I will just try to make my case to the board and hope for the best. Thanks for making a good point, why should they believe my innocence if a court gave me probation. Should I try to explain the details of what happened? Or just give the basics and see what they ask? I don't know what to expect. Thanks for your feedback

I'm sorry, I should have been more clear. I moved out in 1996 and eventually filed for divorce in 1998. In 2000 I finally received my divorce, but during that time she filed criminal charges that drug on until 2004, at which time I accepted a plea for deferred adjudication probation to end it. I've never experienced something so difficult in my life and sometimes thought I would have a nervous breakdown. I am unsure how to approach the board to help them understand the circumstances. I really look like a blacksheep in my opinion, but hope to convince the BNE I am worthy of an opportunity to do something good in the field of nursing. thanks again for you help.

Hello, I am new here but have a specific question re: Declaratory Order. I am on Deferred Adjudication Probation for a felony "aggrevated assult". The allegation was said to have occurred in 1996, but I did not receive probation until 2004 after many years of battleing with my ex-wife in court. Yes, it is she that brought forth the allegation, in my opinion only to have an edge in the divorce proceedings. There are no claims of physical abuse as aggrevated assult encompasses mental anguish as well. My dilema is that I want to leave my current profession and become an RN. I have been accepted to a college of nursing and already possess a Masters degree, but they tell me I have to file a Declaratory order now. I am so afraid that I will be turned down because of my situation that I am looking for any advice as to how I can handle this. I am a good person that got mixed up with someone who was very bad for me. thank you to all who try to help I'm sorry, I should have been more clear.
