It's very easy to get charged and unfortunately a jury can find you guilty on circumstantial evidence.

In Texas, you can be convicted of any offense, including murder, as a party to the offense which means even if you did not do the actual crime, you can be charged, convicted, and punished just as the primary actor (except that you cannot receive death in a capital murder as a party in some instances.)
