My friend which is about 15,years old was caught here in Houston Texas selling drugs am more than sure it was about a.Gram of weed or little more of it. He has also been in jail before.

Answer

If this case is filed in the juvenile court, the maximum sanction is confinement until his 21st birthday. If he is certified as an adult, the penalties can be more severe. This will not be a ticket that will go away by just paying a fine. Get a good attorney.
