Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

My nephew was a get away driver for a crime of aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon, he was charged on 2 counts. He also rolled over on other incidents that happen before he got involved with his friends criminal act. Could he actually be convicted for the 2 counts of charges eventhough he was more of an accessory to a crime? Could he get his cased dismissed? What would a Lesser charge be for a first time offender?

He is not an accessory; he is a primary actor who provided the service of driving the other actors away. It is highly unlikely his case will be dismissed, and there is not a lesser charge just because it is a first offense - although the state might be willing plea bargain the case for a different or lesser charge.

He needs a lawer representing him.
