Texas, Bowie County.? Criminal charge is posession under 1 gram. Bowie county, Texas. I know that if I could afford an attorrney to represent my case that this being a first offense they would more than likely be able to work a shorter amount of probation time out for me with the courts, rather than if i just walk in myself and get what is handed to me. How can i represent myself in same manner as paid representation in this matter?
