Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

Re: Charged while sitting on passenger side

Possession means having care, custody, control, or management over the contraband. Your facts illustrated potential probable cause for the arrest of the passenger, if the police officer could articulate facts connecting the passenger to the cocaine. That said, however, the difficult burden for the prosecutor will be to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, the passenger knowingly possessed the cocaine. Regretfully, your question does not reveal enough facts to form a conclusion.
