Texas- Round Rock, Williamson County
Last night as I was walking with my friend, we come to a stop sign and split in different directions for home. 30 seconds later my friend yells my name and hands me a pipe, not realizing that a cop was stopped at a stop sign about 50 feet way. We went our seperate ways and about a minute later I see the flashing lights of the cop car. He stops, asks what I'm doing and asks me if I have anything illegal on me, and I say yes. I hand him the pipe, he gives me a citation for Possession of Paraphenlia containing residue. The only thing that was smoked out of that pipe was marijuana. I'm 16 so the police officer said I'm a minor and I have to appear in court in less than 30 days. This is my first offense and I'm curious/scared about the consequences. What are the possible punishments that could occur through this? Thank you very much.
