Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

I have a question I have a girlfriend that I am close to. we are wanting to live together there is one problem she is a pot smoker and will not give it up. 9 years ago I was convicted of conspiracy to manufacture and delivery marijuana. I completed my probation and haven't had any trouble since. Now if we do live together and and something did happen where pot was found on a personal use level, what would happen to me, would I just get a ticket or would I go to prison? Would that be considered a habitual felony?

I live in texas My Charge was in Wisconsin

In Texas, simple possession of marijuana less than two ounces is a class B misdemeanor, with a maximum county jail incarceration of six months.

Absent other undisclosed circumstances, state prison is not a possibility.
