You need to hire a lawyer to review the offense reports, lab reports, and any other relevant information (including warrants if they led to the search and recovery of the drugs.) What sentence can be assessed depends on the amount of drugs in question. If you have no priors, you may be able to get a probation (including a deferred adjudication probation.) There are many relevant factors including prior criminal history, the level of involvement the police think you are in, the amount of drugs, etc. Hire a good lawyer.

This is a question that you should address directly with your attorney. Usually, when multiple crimes are alleged your lawyer will be able to make a deal that allows the sentences to run concurrently. However, you should not get ahead of yourself. Your needs to determine whether there was enough evidence to prove your guilt and whether your Constitutional rights were violated. Good luck.

Possession with intent to deliver is a 1st degree felony, 5-99. You really need to hire an attorney and fight this with everything you got.
