charged with podp and mip of tobacco. questions help please?
A couple of days ago, I was stopped by the police, and they smelled marijuana in my car. I was with some friends, and they searched my car, discovering a very small amount of weed. They also found a package of Black & Milds. Instead of arresting me, they issued a citation. I am under 18 years old, and I am charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and minor in possession of tobacco. What should I expect in court? I understand that I will have to pay fines, but what else should I be aware of? I live in Texas.

It really depends on the county/judge you will be tried and your criminal history. For example, some counties/judges take a much harsher stance on drug offenses than others.
Your attorney should be able to provide you with the best estimate as to what to expect. If this is your first offense, more likely than not you will not receive more than a fine, probation, and/or drug counseling/education.
