You can also get some bomb ass chronic here as well. Its usually sold around $20 a gram"
I read your post, but was refering to your other post where you talked about how "weird" pot prices are up north. You yourself said that you can get expensive dank in TX. Like I said:

If they smell it, you are basically fucked. They can search you without your consent and anything they find is admissible as evidence. That is why they lie about smelling weed so often.
Cops have told me that they smelled weed on me at least half a dozen times. None of those times did I have any weed or had been smoking. Turns out they were just lying and they didn't actually search me.
Its an old trick, they lie and say they smell weed, the stoners get a oh shit look on their face and the innocent people get an angry look on their face.

You should not have taken the weed out of your pocket.
What they were doing is called a "terry stop", which is a type of search where they are allowed to pat you down even though they don't have probable cause that you committed a crime. The purpose of a terry stop is to look for weapons. If they find anything else that is not a weapon, they can not remove it from your pocket unless it is obvious by the feel of it that it is contraband.
A bag of weed feels like a wad of kleenex or many other legal items, so if they feel a bag of weed, if they take it out of your pocket and arrest you for it, you will get off in court when your lawyer files the motion to suppress.
In order to get around that pitfall, when an officer is doing a terry stop and finds something that he suspects might be illegal, but he can't tell for sure without reaching into your pocket he needs to trick you into giving it up. Generally he will ask you to empty your pockets, or say "Whats that in your left pocket, etc". The correct answer is "None of your business." or "That is my item." He will find this suspicious as fuck, however probable cause is the standard for searching a person, not reasonable suspicion.
Never empty your pockets, always make the officer reach in and take it out. When they ask you to empty your pockets, always politely say that you decline to be searched. If they have the legal right to search you they will just do it. If they don't have the legal right to search you, they will frisk you and then sit there and ask you to empty your pockets until they get bored of asking that, then they will let you go.
Once you take it out of your pocket, it is within plain sight of the officer and he can then arrest you for it. Later, in court, you will have no defense because you showed the officer your contraband. If you had declined to remove it from your pocket and made him retrieve it, the officer would have to prove that he had probable cause that you were committing a crime in order for the evidence to be valid. Probable cause is a much higher standard of evidence and requires the officer to cite something specifically illegal that he observed.
Unfortunately the odor of marijuana is probable cause, however often they are bluffing about that. Even if they really do smell it, always decline consent to search and make them get it without your help. At least that way once your case gets to court you will be able to file a motion to suppress that has a chance of success.
Also if you make the officer violate your rights in the process of the stop instead of violating your rights for him, he will be much more likely to toss the weed away and tell you to fuck off since he doesn't really want cases that he will lose.
Also remember that we have a Security and Safety forum which is quite excellent and there you will get much better quality answers to questions like this than you will in the pub.
p.s. Everyone should watch this excellent video, why you should never talk to the police, even if you are innocent.

You are an idiot and an asshole for driving under the influence of an intoxicating substance. You will probably be eligible for your States ARD program and be put on probation and have to pay a fine but you should be put in jail for being a shitbag moron.

if the driver was a minor, it doesnt matter how much he had to drink, it's a DWI/DUI, it's not a good idea to drive with any alcohol in your system, you can have a charge for unsafe operation with less than the legal limit

Haven't you seen the recent commercials? Buzzed driving is drunk driving. Drivers have no right to decide whether their blood alcohol is under .08.
If you have been drinking at all, you (or your driver buddy in this case)are a douchebag to operate a motor vehicle, in my opinion.
ALCOHOL IMPAIRS JUDGEMENT!
Would your buddy have ran the light stone-cold sober? Maybe but maybe not....

If the cops couldn't tell he was drinking I'm pretty sure his blood alcohol level was under .08

Idiots these days...
1. WHY DO YOU HAVE SO MUCH POT ON YOU? 2. Have you considered smarter friends? 3. Have you considered less idiotic friends who don't run red lights? --Esp. when your carrying illegal drugs? 4. Why did you take out your pot like an idiot? 5. If your going to travel with drugs / paraphernalia, why do you not know your rights? 6. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS AND EXERCISE THEM, DON'T LET THEM WORK YOU.

I had my backpack with me and in it was my controller, a pipe, and some rolling papers. My front pocket had a fat dub sack.
I was taken to the police station to be processed and fingerprinted. The only thing I was charged with was possession(of 22 grams). I got released about 3 fucking hours after I got arrested. They told me "You'll get your court date in the mail."
22 or 2.2 grams?
Texas has gone a bit more lenient of Weed.
As of September 1, people caught with up to a quarter-pound of marijuana in Texas will no longer automatically be arrested. Under HB 2391, a bill passed by the legislature and signed into law June 15 by Gov. Rick Perry (R), police will have the option of issuing a summons to appear for misdemeanor pot possession, as well as a number of other small-time offenses.

Hey man, dont worry bout nothin, first weed charge you're all good. I'm a veteran of the court system and have done quite a few stints in jail, last time I got pulled over with a friend I was arrested for felony distribution of a similated narcotic, and unlawful carrying of a concealed weapon (9mm.) The felony was dropped from insufficient evidence and I ended up doing 2 days time served on the gun, turn the weapon over to the state, and 300 dollars court costs. Since yours is drug related you're looking at maybe 9 months of probation, 50 hours of community service. If they offer you something shitty you can tell your lawyer to turn it down. You're gonna have to bite the bullet on the probation cuz its drug related but shit happens. If you do well you'll get off with maybe 180 days probation and some community service, pass the first few drug tests you'll only be checked every month or so. Dont worry happens to the best of us, live and learn, dont smoke weed in your car

p.s. you will always have the option to sit it out in jail time, in your case it would probably be about 15 days, county jail is 2 for 1 so you would do a week and get out. Up to you, county jails not so bad.

Get a PUBLIC DEFENDER! Don't get a fucking lawyer. Way too expensive for a CHANCE at getting a reduced sentence. You were caught fair and square with everything so if anything it would just be a reduced sentence probably because you have a good record. Even then, that's doubtable.
Look forward to hefty court fines and probation, that's for sure. Can't guarantee much else.
Good luck and learn your lesson.
