What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
My daughter was charged with possession of marijuana in Hood County, Texas
under 2 ounces...court date is next week. what should i expect for a first time offence? The lawyer at the bail/bond said i don't really need a lawyer for this, but since this is my first experience, I would like some idea of what to expect and advice on what to do

Your daughter is facing up to 180 days in jail and up to a $2000 fine.

Having been a first offense, it's possible to have it dismissed in exchange for entering a drug program (not rehab) or community service.

I doubt that the person you spoke with at the bail bond shop was a lawyer. I do have to disagree though as to get the best possible outcome, you really should have your daughter get an attorney.
