forgive me for putting my info here but i just wanted you to know that I kow exactly what will happen next from very intimate knowledge.
1. They took your phone for a reason. The phone will be cloned before returned and monitored/RECORDED until formal charges are pressed and even during the trial(if there is one). I suggest strongly you get a new phone, through a new carrier, but keep your original phone active just dont use it, or use it and NEVER mention cannibis in any way shape or form.. Its probably a sealed warrent which you wont find out about until you go to court, might explain the length of time it took to get you processed (thanks to our beloved Patriot Act this can actualy take place.....F$^&(#). Everything you say and do is fair game from this point on.
2. your computer hard drive will also be cloned. Though they may do a very basic search of its contents, forensic technology is quite expensive and the cost is usually not incurred unless they get a wiff of a distribution conspiracy.
because of the laws in texas and the cost of prosecution of cultivation crimes unless they get some wiff of being able to take down a criminal conspiricy or distribution they usually do the bare minimum.
first offense, and depending on the weight and number of plants your charges will likely be reduced to a simple possesion charge or if you elect jury trial probably dismissed.
you willbe fine....sorry that this incident has happened to you.
I am not a lawyer and can offer no legal advice. My experince comes from my forensics background in technology. I have done alot of work throughout the south including texas within the judicial system..
