    Default Re: Offense in Texas

    Texas maximum penalties can be found here, and they're whoppers.

    You'd do well to retain counsel, and quickly. As a first offender, you may be eligible for just probation if the amount actually in your possession was under a pound:

    * With no prior felony convictions, if convicted of possession of less than one pound of marijuana a judge must impose a sentence of probation with mandatory drug treatment. If no treatment center exists within the jurisdiction, the judge may waive the treatment requirement. They judge can also waive all fines.
