19.925—Conviction.
        
            Conviction means—
    
    
        
        (a) 
         A judgment or any other determination of
 guilt of a criminal offense by any court of
 competent jurisdiction, whether entered upon a
 verdict or plea, including a plea of nolo
 contendere; or
    
    
        
        (b) 
         Any other resolution that is the functional
 equivalent of a judgment, including probation
 before judgment and deferred prosecution. A
 disposition without the participation of the court
 is the functional equivalent of a judgment only if
 it includes an admission of guilt.
