A felony record, in the context of passing a tech background check, is the following:
Does the word 'felony' appear on your record? It's all just string matching.
Felony misdemeanor? I'm a felon.
Felony misdemeanor as a juvenile? I'm a felon.
Felony for Adult Bad Things? Not me, but maybe someone else.
Either way, you're done for 7 years. I still wait to tell friends and family until after the background check passes... 15 years later.
Most background checks (basically all) though are local to the states you list, so if you say you've only ever lived in Texas, but your conviction was in Oregon, I think you'd still pass as long as it wasn't a federal level conviction. I know this because I've scrutinized every single background check I've ever had.
The experience will jade you and will leave a permanent bad taste in your mouth. Don't forget they need software developers in Latin America and Europe.
