Answer 1

Answer 2

Be good in jail

Answer 3

Depending on the county where you were charged,  the worst that could happen is that you will be placed on deferred adjudication, a type of supervision where if you successfully complete it, the case will be dismissed and there will not be a conviction or finding of guilt on your  record.  However, if you can pay the restitution up front, maybe the D.A. will lower the charge to a Class C misdemeanor where the maximum punishment is a $500 fine.   If you get a deferred adjudication on a class C, then it can be expunged.  A class A misdemeanor carries up to a $4000 fine and up to 1 year in jail.  Some counties offer a pretrial diversion where if you complete some community service and whatnot, the D.A. will dismiss your case.  Get a good attorney pronto.

Answer 4

in TX? are you black? you'll probably be executed

Answer 5

Get a good criminal attorney  to help you with this. First time offense no priors....they will likely offer you probation. An attorney could get you deferred.

Answer 6

First conviction, community service/work crew

Answer 7

Yo *** is goin to jail, say hello to bubba (and by the way, he'll make you drop the soap).
