More details to this question:
Our court date is tomorrow and we have absolutely no idea how court works. I was going to take the entire blame because he simply handed me the items, and I didn't scan them through the self-checkout. What happens if I do this? This is our first offense.

Do not take the blame until you have spoken with a criminal defense attorney. If you work out a deal to take the blame and in turn they dismiss the other person's case great, otherwise keep your mouth shut. Additionally, more than one person can be charged for the same crime, in the State of Texas. It is called the law of parties. Do yourself a favor and speak to an attorney before making rash decisions. Good luck.
