    Question Second Marijuana Possession Charge in Texas

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Texas specifically San benito/Los Fresnos Just last wednesday i was searched at school I'm sixteen and was found in possesion of marijuana. This is the second time i've been caught with marijuana at school. The first time i was put in this program that just gave me probation for 6 months, 10 hours of community service, and four drug counseling sessions. This time they told me at the juvenile detention center that they can't do that again since its my second offense so i don't know when i'll have court till thurday but they have me on temporary probation for the mean time. I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me the most likely outcome of the trial? Can i plea for a lesser charge i don't want to be on probation again or is there a possible way i could serve the time rather then be on probation? What should i plea and what should i do?Besides that in los fresnos they charged me for the parephenelia and i have court on the 20th of this month october. What would most likely be the outcome and could i also plea for a lesser charge?

    Your lawyer can plead for a lesser charge.

    Are you honestly asking if you can go to prison rather than probation? Ask the nice judge. I am sure he/she will accommodate.

    You're definitely going to need a lawyer. Your previous paraphernalia possession is a Class C misdemeanor and I'm assuming your previous possession charge was below 2 Ounces which puts it at a Class B misdemeanor. The fact that it was on school grounds likely increased the penalties but will not likely make it a felony if it was only a recreational quantity. In Texas, as long as you are not charged or convicted with a felony drug charge (most juvenile possession charges under a pound are misdemeanors), the judge can order mandatory probation and drug treatment. Because of the second offense, you will likely receive a slightly increased version of your original penalty. Your probation, if convicted, will be unavoidable. You should contact a lawyer if you are thinking of attempting a plea bargain because if not, the possession on school grounds can be grounds for a felony.

    Nevermind. I agree. You should definitely seek incarceration. Good luck.
