Will a marijuana possession ticket change my insurance and can a diversion program prevent it from affecting my record?

Receiving a ticket for marijuana possession has nothing to do with your driving record. It is a misdemeanor and will go on your criminal record if you are found guilty. I strongly recommend that you hire an attorney to represent you. Your attorney can probably get the charge reduced to a lesser offense, such as "Littering" and there is no reason your father will find out. Depending on which court your case is in, it's very likely that you won't have to appear in court at all. If you were charged under the "Abuse & Lose" law, then yes, there is a chance your license will be suspended. Without more information, that's all I can tell you. Most of my clients who are caught with marijuana do not face a suspension of their license. I suggest you call around and get price quotes from attorneys for legal representation. Attorneys who handle a lot of marijuana cases can give you a price quote over the phone and an estimate of the fine & court costs that you will end up paying to the court.

Instead of worrying about the insurance, you need to focus your attention on how you can avoid being convicted. You should hire a lawyer and get this relatively minor charge dismissed. By yourself you're going to get a criminal record, and it isn't worth it.

Have your brothers hire an attorney. You do not want this on your record. By the way, if is possible, but doubtful you will be able to keep this from your parents or insurance company of you are convicted. Straighten up, is only your life.

This is not a Texas case as there is no ticket for marijuana. A conviction for marijuana will result in a revocation of your license and can affect you forever. Man up and talk to your dad. Time to take responsibility.
