Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

Re: carrying firearm w/o license while possessing less than (1)gram of marijuana

In large quantities of drugs a firearm can play a part in the sentencing directly in that it can be used in felony drug offenses. see: Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Art. 42.12 Sec. 3g(a)(2). However, in such small cases it really doesn't play a legal part.

However, as a practical matter, it depends on the view of the district attorney that will make the recommendation in your case vis a vis their view on firearms and drugs and their combination.

Normally, if you don't have any priors i would expect a recommendation of probation. However, should you have any priors that could also play a part.

Be honest with whomever you decide to hire as your criminal lawyer. Additionally, you may have issues to look at in terms of the stop, search, and affirmative link to the weapon and the drugs. Please don't tell me you gave them permission to search your vehicle!!!
