It really depends on a lot of things. Being...
Your past record,
the cops that are arresting you,
how much mj is on you (more than an o?),
what county in Texas you're in (hopefully Travis),
the lawyer you hire,
were you inside a vehicle?
If it's a first offense, most likely you will get community service and have to take a drug enforcement education program of sorts in your county (slap on the wrist). Your biggest fee will probably be your lawyer and to get it expunged off your record in a year. Depending on the county most likely no drug testing/probation. Don't worry too much and think positive thoughts.
An advantage of community service is that it can enhance your resume. A disadvantage of community service is that it can be a form of punishment. ^^ ;)
Community based punishment is usually referred to as community service. This is often given instead of a prison or jail term.
No, it is not the same thing, you can get both at the same time as punishment.

community service
Punishments for first-time marijuana possession vary by jurisdiction but can include fines, probation, drug education programs, or community service. In some places, first-time offenders may be eligible for diversion programs that allow them to avoid a criminal record.
It can be looked at both ways. It can be viewed as a punishment in that it is usually assigned as an alternative to having to serve jail time or pay a fine. It can also be viewed as a reward, in that it was offered instead of having to serve jail time or pay a fine. The choice of how to view it, is yours.
The advantages are that you can get donations to fund your charity The disadvantages of a charity are that the details are exposed to the general public. The charity does not work to make a profit.

Depending on the community, there will be either a 'disorderly conduct' ticket or most likely the juvenile causing the damage will have to pay for damages and/or community service.
