House Bill 1106 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to require a court, before placing a defendant on deferred adjudication community supervision, to inform the defendant of the defendant's right to petition the court for an order of nondisclosure unless the defendant is ineligible for certain reasons. The bill requires a judge who dismisses proceedings against a defendant and discharges the defendant under deferred adjudication to provide the defendant with a copy of the dismissal and discharge order and, if applicable, inform the defendant of the defendant's eligibility to petition the court for an order of nondisclosure and the earliest date the defendant is eligible to file the petition for the order of nondisclosure.
