Understand our firm’s overall approach to fighting criminal charges in Texas.

How Texas Punishes Drug Crimes

The penalty for a drug crime in Texas depends on two main things:

  • The Type of Drug: Texas law separates drugs into “Penalty Groups.” Drugs in Penalty Group 1 (like cocaine, heroin, and meth) have the most severe punishments. Marijuana is in its own separate category.
  • The Amount of the Drug: The punishment gets much more serious as the weight of the drugs increases.

Charges can range from a simple misdemeanor for possessing a small amount of marijuana to a first-degree felony for manufacturing or delivering a large amount of a controlled substance.

How We Fight Your Drug Charge

Many drug cases are won or lost based on how the police found the drugs. A key part of our defense is to protect your constitutional rights. We will investigate to find out:

  • Was there an illegal search? Did the police have a valid reason to stop you, search your car, or search your home? If not, the evidence may be thrown out.
  • Did the drugs actually belong to you? The prosecutor must prove that you “knowingly” possessed the drugs. If you were in a car with other people, they may not be able to prove the drugs were yours.
  • Were there problems with the evidence? We can challenge the lab reports and the chain of custody of the evidence.
