Let's be real here, unless you get a judge with a soft side (in TX? Really?) you will not be able to pass the illegal entry mess off in court. The complex's way of notifying you is by putting notes on your door. Is that not what they do when they come in to change air filters, pest control, etc...? No complex I have ever lived in has ever called me to let me know they were coming in to check anything and if it's been an emergency because of a leak in another apartment, there is no notice, they are coming in regardless. They are there for the upkeep of the property and don't really give a damn about your privacy. Either get to know your maint. men to get a feel for them or don't grow in someone else's house. If you have never been charged with anything before and you have a lawyer, you will probably be able to get probation. I kind of think it really all depends on your judge and how they feel about drug charges. Were you charged with a felony or misdemeanor charge? Were there any other charges other than possession, like intent to distribute? Friends I've had on felony probation have gotten 10 yrs for various charges, not necessarily all drug related. Best of luck to you and I hope you get something as easy as possible to deal with.
