Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

Hi august 28 ,2011 i was arrested for class b misdemeanor of possession of marijuana and 3rd degree felony of tampering with physical evidence .

Judge set tampering charge aside and i had my court set for june 3 of this year on the marijuana misdemeanor charge , i thought felony charge went away .Yesterday which is april 14 , 2012 i recieved a letter of arraignment on the felony charge in which a duly organized grand jury signed of on it saying i have to go to court on april 24 for the felony tampering with evidence im guessing they went through with charges on me .

All this over 10 dollars worth of marijuana that i threw out the window when the cop tried making a traffic stop .

My main question is am i really going to prison for such a crime ? Im nervous like heck and angry at the same time about the possibility of prison time over 10 dollars of marijuana . Whats more sad is that this is in another county in which i just visited for 1 day

You need to hire a lawyer to represent you. Should have done it long ago so the lawyer could have possibly presented to the grand jury and avoided and indictment.

Don't delay.
