Re: question on punishment I think you are a bit off on your penalty classifications for the listed offenses.
Evading arrest of detention is Section 38.04 Tex. Penal Code and can be from a Class B misdemeanor up to a second degree felony depending on the facts of the case.
Resisting Arrest is section 38.03 Tex. Penal Code and ranges from a Class A misdemeanor up to a 3rd degree felony if a deadly weapon is used.
Possession of Marijuana is Section 481.121 of the Texas Health and Safety Code and can range from a Class B misdemeanor up to a 1st degree felony depending on the quantity alleged.
Non-enhanced punishment range for Misdemeanors is: Class A - Up to 1 year in the county jail and up to a $4000 fine. Class B - Up to 180 days in the county jail and up to a $2000 fine. Class C - Up to a $500 fine.
A prior burglary conviction with a trip to TDC would certainly affect any offer from the County or District Attorney.
