    Default Possession of Drug Praphernalia in Texas

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Texas

    Last night a couple of friends and I were out in a field smoking pot. There were three of us, but only two of us were smoking. We had smoked a little bit and all of the sudden the state game warden comes up and catches us. I did not have any drugs or paraphernalia on my person, but I there was a pipe that I put on the ground which he later discovered, I had my lighter, and eye drops on me though and they were all siezed as paraphernalia.

    1. Why were the eye drops taken from me?

    My friend that was smoking with me had pot, a pipe, and a lighter on him.

    And my other friend who was not smoking did not have anything on him, but we I had my pot in his truck and he got caught for that.

    The game warden went easy on us and just gave us all possession of drug paraphernalia which is a class C misdeamenor.

    2. What should I do? Call a lawyer? I am thinking that I can take care of this on my own though, but maybe I'm wrong. I would not like my family to know about this and seeing as I am 18, my friend that was smoking is 19, and my friend who wasn't smoking is 18, then there is no way that they can find out unless I tell them.

    3. What kind of charges am I looking at? Will there be any other options available to me such as paying a fine, community service, or probation?

    Probably a $500.00 fine.

    It never hurts to talk to a lawyer.
