Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

A little over a year ago me and my friend got pulled over in Texas, I handed her the drugs when I seen the cop,I was driving. They arrested her on drug charges I went free. She has court in a couple weeks is it possible for me to confess that the drugs were really mine and because my job I didn't want to get in trouble and they drop the charges on her? Or will both of us be charged or is it too late?

Anything is possible but if you have never been in trouble, they are not likely to help her. She was actually in possession of the drugs - they CAN prove the case on her. If they decided to accept your confession, they may proceed against both of you.

If you really want to try to help (and I say try because it may not work), talk with her lawyer. Be aware that you may only add yourself to the mix because she is technically guilty.
