While I feel for you... you should have used better judgement my friend. This is unfortunately the consequence that many growers suffer.. because they fail to use better judgement. Personally? If I had kids.. I would NEVER have them around my grow.. NEVER, point blank, period, end of story.
You can get mad all ya want bro.. but when it comes down to it, your at fault here... nobody else.
If you were smart.. you would have had your grow area located somewhere else, instead of growing it inside your own house.. with knowing that you have kids living there with you.. your own kids at that!
Sorry man.. but I call this one as being lack of common sense of the grower. Good luck on getting your kids back.. its going to be absolute HELL going through all the processes and everything to get your kids back to living with you. Hell, they may NOT give your kids back.. just depends on your history.. like past charges you might have.. things like that. And don't think that they can't keep your kids.. because they can.. and they WILL. Trust me, I know this.. my mother worked for DHS as a lead field investigator for almost 30 years.. I know how these things work.
Good luck, your gonna need all you can get my friend.
Just a little info for ya.. next time you decide to grow.. don't grow so many plants man!! You can't tell me that 25 (5 other) plants were all for you. That claim won't hold up in court my friend.. now, if you were like me.. and were truly and honestly only growing for your personal enjoyment/consumption.. you wouldn't have almost 30 plants.. you would be like me.. and only be growing 2 maybe 3 plants MAX.. per grow. The feds/state do not consider 25 or 30 plants.. as being for "personal consumption".. they're going to look at your case.. as you being a dealer... because of the mass quantity of plants you had growing.
But yeah, lol... good luck buddy, you'll def. need all the luck you can get.
peace.

"Marihuana" is the correct legal spelling in most jurisdictions. In Texas it's spelled that way throughout Chapter 481 of the Health and Safety Code. Here's a link: http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/ It was spelled with an "h" back in the 1930s during the Tax Act. It was spelled both ways in the 1970 Controlled Substances Act. It's not uncommon to see it spelled with an "h" in court proceedings and associated documents. But it I'd agree that it's not the common spelling outside of that arena.

I have to admit that I thought the same thing Cannabisguru. 30 plants is a lot to me. But then that may not be the case for others. I'm not a smoker and only grew until my dad lost his fight with cancer, just a few years grow experience total. Once I had a good mom plant I'd clone maybe two at a time after the harvest. So, I never had more than 3 or 4 going at one time. I'd get close to 3 ounces dried from two plants, maybe a little less, maybe a little more. And it didn't get used very quickly. After a while I was letting the vegetation go longer and longer as the supply was good. But I can completely see how somebody else could go through the same amount much, much quickly.
While I get the legal stuff probably better than most here. It still pisses me off that he's getting busted for a plant that for most part is harmless. It shouldn't matter if he has 30 plants, 3 plants, or 3000 plants. If he's not hurting anybody, I don't see what's the problem. Victimless crimes are stupid to me in general. If somebody wants to smoke a bowl and buy a piece of ass and doesn't harm anybody in the process, what does the government care? Nobody wants the government to save from them from themselves.

Get the fuck out of Texas. Why would you live in that hell hole police state?

It's less of a hell hole police state if you're white and "say the right things," and run in the approved circles. A person can fuck up a lot and get away with it if he's the kid of a prominent business owner who supports the local candidates, openly loves Jesus and guns, hates gays and liberals, and plays cards with the county judge at the country club. Do those things first and not only do the police look the other way, they may want to ask you who broke in and put those plants there. They might kindly ask you to dispose of them if it's not too inconvenient on your part. Okay, slight exaggeration. But it's not unheard of for stuff to coincidently disappear from the evidence room.
Right now I think many people are in Texas solely because the economy is doing very well in comparison to other states. Other than that I can't think of a reason to be here. Especially when the bank tower says it's 112 degrees.

Plant counts don't matter in Texas. If you're big enough then they hit you with intent to distribute. Otherwise, they chop the plants down, weigh them wet, and hit you with possession for the said amount.
Just deleted the judgemental shit about kids. A grow can be kept completely away from the kids. If he is fine with his kids being around it and his kids are normal kids, then whatever he does is ok in my book (this is not an absolute statement)

Yeah but who wants to be a gas and oil worshiping, godbot? The people you describe are hollow shells. Get to CO and breathe the fresh mountain air with people who have an entirely different set of priorities. Won't get above 70 degrees today up high in CO! Oh and you can bring your guns!

That is true, but there's a small twist... Most people want government to save someone else from themself.
And for the people that are bashing TX on here... it's not as bad as you think. Much has to do with the locality you're in and more on how you act in public. Get out of the metro areas and you're left alone for the most part.

That's right, Hell with the Cities. The problem is what Peacefull Kid said; "They can do what they want......" That line of belief is what gives them their Authority, the Cowardness, Submissive attitude, which feeds the never sated Egos. I've had them Bastards breaking out in sweat, trying to explain their actions before a Judge. I keep my mouth shut until I'm before the Judge. Then,.... "It ain't no fun when the Rabbit gets the gun !!". This Guy is letting His Lawyer fuck Him. It's the ole two-step Plea-Shit, straight from the Handbook. Oh Well.

I'm not going to say you won't find police that overstep their bounds in rural areas, but you see far fewer of them. I tend to think the reason for this is due to the fact that in smaller communities, most everyone knows the cops (as well as everyone else). They shop at the same grocery stores, eat at all the same restaurants, go to church with them... etc. It's hard to be an asshole to people when you have to interact with them on a regular basis.

Cops all over can be bad... Follow the money... I grew up in a rural area and cops were real bad. I moved to the city cause atleast they have real criminals to pester...lol. I have worked on a houston officer's home. We used to talk alot while I worked there. "Legal mafia" was his words. How many poor cops do you know?

Oddly enough a lot more than you would think. I've handled a lot of civil cases for Dallas-Ft. Worth area cops --mainly getting sued by creditors. Many made their $$$$ from off duty jobs that aren't around any more. I think you'd be surprised how many cops smoke.
