Our Drug Defense Lawyer Fights All Types of Drug Crime Criminal Charges
The severity of the penalties you might face if convicted may vary greatly depending on what sort of drug offense is in question. You can be arrested for a drug crime for one or more of the following reasons:
- Drug possession: Simply having an illicit substance on your person, home, or vehicle can constitute a drug possession offense in Texas.
- Drug use: If you are caught using an illegal drug or a prescription drug and intending to abuse it, you may be arrested. You may also be charged for use if blood tests reveal the substance in your system without the act of using it being witnessed by police.
- Drug distribution: Passing an illegal drug to another person or location can be considered a form of drug trafficking known as distribution.
- Drug sales: Selling an illicit substance for profit constitutes a severe drug crime. The profit does not necessarily have to be for monetary gain and can instead involve earning favors or bribery.
Penalties for convictions vary based on the type of drug, the amount, and even the location of the arrest. In addition to the more commonly recognized illegal drugs, drug crimes can also include substances that are otherwise legal but used illegally, such as vast quantities of prescribed medication.
Punishments if convicted of a drug crime can include:
- High fines – sometimes up to $10,000
- Jail time – ranging from one year to living behind bars
- Loss of employment
- Community service
- Permanent, public criminal record
- Registration on criminal offender lists
