What can we do if my friend knew nothing about the drugs, yet 4 months and my friend is still in jail?

It will take more than that for a case to be dropped - usually like another person to be convicted. Your friend can make bond, and your friend obviously has a lawyer to whom your friend can direct questions (and should) about what is needed and the timeline for things to happen. Your friend may just have to go to trial.

She needs to hire an attorney. Let the attorney speak with law enforcement. If she was involved in a collision, and left the scene, she could be facing serious criminal charges. If only property was damaged, it could be a misdemeanor. However, if anyone in the other vehicle was injured, she could be facing serious felony charges.

What are my options after a class C theft in Texas?

It would be best if you had a lawyer. But if you cannot afford one or want to at least try to handle the situation without a lawyer, go to the court on your date and talk with either the prosecutor or the judge when you are called. Ask for a deferred prosecution (sometimes called deferred adjudication). This is like a probation in which the case is reset for a period of time (generally 3 to 6 months) and you are required to do some tasks such as community service and an anti theft class as well as a letter of apology. When the time period passes if you have completed your tasks when you return to court the case is dismissed. You must then wait 2 years and you can file for an expunction - a civil lawsuit in district court to clean your record. You WILL need a lawyer to do this. When you go to court, if they will not agree to give you the deferred, then ask for a reset and go hire a lawyer. You do not want to simply pay a fine and / or court costs - you need a dismissal or it will remain on your record indefinitely.
