Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

confused

Hello, and thank you for your time. I was wondering what excatly is possesion doesn't it have to be on you or in your property ? I currently am facing a felony drug charge on drugs that were on the floor next to me in a hotel room (which was not under my name) with 5 other people in the room 2 of which were also within the same distance from the drugs as i was. This case has been delayed for almost 2 years now. isn't there a statue of limitations and do you think there is any possiablity i can get it dropped down to a lesser charge or dismissed becasue of inconclusive evidence?? sorry the details are vague thats basicly all there is on the case once again thank for your time
