Under Art. 42.12 sec. 15, the Judge is required to grant community supervision for certain state jail felony drug cases as long as the defendant has not been convicted of a felony.

If we are before the Court on a case involving an adult defendant who was previously adjudicated for a felony offense as a child, does this "juvenile adjudication" count as a conviction under Art. 42.12 sec. 15?

I think TEXAS FAMILY CODE sec. 51.13(a) & (d) say "no." See also Ex parte Valle, 104 S.W.3d 888 (Tex.Crim.App.2003).
