I recently received a citation for possession of paraphernalia in Texas. The cops found a homemade water pipe and a grinder.I have a clean record except for this, and I am wondering what I should do. I have heard deferred adjudication could get me a smaller fine and community service, is this true? Also, how do I go about filing for deferred adjudication? Do I just mail a letter to the judge requesting this?

Thank you guys, this is my first time visiting this site, and I am pretty impressed.

EDIT: Also figured I should add, I was not in a car, this was in my room.
