What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
Im not sure if im asking in right place.
Im 17 and i got arrested at school for a knife which was considered a switchblade. I was at school and i had forgotten i had a knife in my pocket from the night before. I had ran from the principal because of a argument i had gotten into in class then when they finally had caught me i went into the office and got searched and was found with the knife. I was charged with carying prohibited weapon on prohibited area. I got sent to county and bailed.
This is my first case as a adult also first with a weapon charge.
What i need to know is will i have to do serious time for this as in prison or county. Or will i be able to get probation or possibly reduced to a misdemeanor charge?
I currently don't have money for a lawyer so i will be appointed one.
