    Default How Do I Get Marijuana Charge Removed

    i have a question i am in texas and i have a pending case for possession of marijuana but recently the person that is responsible for the marijuana gave a sworn affidavit admitting guilt to my attorney, my attorney handed it to the DA and they gave me a plea bargain to lessen the charge i work in the medical field and i need this removed from my record. my question is if i take the plea bargain would the possession of marijuana charge still be on my record or should i just fight my case since i have an affidavit. please help me my lawyer suck!

    We don't know the terms of our plea bargain. You either have to share the details or ask your lawyer.

    Even if you take a plea deal that results in deferred adjudication which would likely permit you to seal your record down the road, most hospitals can still see sealed records (they have an exemption). Thus, this could really hinder your employment opportunities down the road regardless of the deal. The best bet is to fight it, but there are definitely risks. However, if you can get it down to a Class C Deferred Adjudication then you would likely be able to expunge it (thus the hospitals won't have access.)
