Never the best idea to defend yourself, and only acceptable if it is a class C. If it is a Class b or higher, you will need a lawyer. If it is a class C, it is deferred disposition.

Only the DA or Judge can offer you probation. If you get probation, you always want to make sure it is deferred adjudication probation. But best to hire an attorney so you don't mess it up.
