Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

We were in a van and one guy had marijuana in his lap with 35 warrants

. He was arrested the officer found more marijuana in the van. I told the police officer it was mine but he took the driver instead stating that it was his vehicle. The drivers lawyer wants me to come sign an affidavit stating that it was mine to remove the charge from the driver. Once I sign the affidavit what happens to me? Does the charge go on my record? Do I go to jail or pay a fine?

You might be arrested and you might not. They might dismiss his charge and they might not. You should meet with a lawyer in your local area to see if you are helping the person (if it is your stuff) or just creating potential problems for yourself.
