24 pills is a lot to be caught with. You really need to get him an attorney.

12.44a is misdemeanor PUNISHMENT (meaning you get county jail time as opposed to prison time) but it is still a felony conviction. 12.44b would result in an actual misdemeanor conviction, but many DA's offices will not offer that even to a first time offender.

Its really not your choice or even your place to give advice. Let him and his attorney decide the course of action to take. Bonding him out should not have any effect on the offer.

Not sure about Texas but in a lot of states felony poss. of xtc cannot be reduced because xtc is a felony regardless.

If you have the means for bail than go ahead and bail away.
Unless of course you think it will do more harm. I have never heard
posting bail has an effect on the criminal level. goodluck.
