A Texas drug possession charge should be taken very seriously. The severity of a charge will depend largely upon several factors, including:
- Quantity
- How the drug was concealed or stored?
- Drugs found with large amount of money
- Past convictions
While penalties can range from misdemeanor to felony offenses, any serious drug offense conviction can wreak havoc on a personal or professional life, career and educational opportunities.
If you have been charged with a drug offense, it is important to protect your rights by partnering with the strongest attorney possible.
Possession Of A Controlled Substance
Because our lawyers have literally represented more than 12,000 clients in criminal defense cases in Travis County, there is no drug possession charge for which we aren't ready. We are prepared to take the approach that has resulted in countless dismissals and reduced charges to aggressively advocate for you.
It is important to realize that for certain drug offenses (under two ounces of marijuana), there is a cite and release statute where someone charged only receives a "ticket." This is actually a Class A or B misdemeanor, and you will need an attorney.
Regardless of the drug offense issue you face, we encourage you to get in touch as soon as possible.
