I'm gonna have to agree with this one. Step one, stay away from the phone and do not speak with the police. They will attempt you to confess to ownership of the plants and tell you it's no big deal. Texas treats this very seriously right now and they don't care how tall your plant was. They count pots only. I would force them to make their case without your cooperation. They had no warrant and the discovery was made outside your presence and control for that matter. Who's to say the maintenance man didn't plant those things there fully knowing you were not in town. How many times have you had confrontations with the apartment complex over shoty maintenance and the such? Who's to say they didn't finally have enough of your complaining and set you up.

Additionally, unless you know for sure you have this matter cleared up, I would not return to Texas and I am dead serious about that. You aren't fleeing since no charges have been filed against you nor do you know for sure that they will. It can take months for them to get around to something like this since your not an immediate threat to society. If things arent looking good for you in Texas then prehaps California might be the place for you. This is the same line of thinking many Mexicans are thinking in Arizona right now. The federal governement has taken a position on this issue but your state has become more hostile then you care for. Other states arent nearly as hostile towards growers and one of those places should be your new home.

Personally, if I knew I was going to be arrested for growing pot in Texas, I would never return. I would hire a lawyer to represent me in Tx and attempt to resolve the matter without my presence. If the day comes when they ask you to return, you will have to make the choice to either come home and take it in the ass (which you will) or begin a new life somewhere where they wont bother you.

WTF IS SO WRONG WITH WANTING TO MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIFE?

I watched a cops episode where a 16 man task force raided a drug house in Tenn. They confiscated approximately 1/2 oz of super Mexiweed, about 40 dollars cash money, and a ledger of debt totaling approximately 220 dollars. Give me a fucking break Tenn. Talk about state hostilities. I laughed mostly but it made me think of the hypocrisy each state has towards this issue.
