Types of Drug Crimes Our Attorney Handles

Possession of a Controlled Substance

Possession of a controlled substance, a drug crime also referred to as simple possession, is when an individual is accused of carrying certain drugs or medications without a valid prescription. If convicted of this crime, it will go on your criminal record. A criminal record can make obtaining employment, gaining acceptance into schools and programs, securing loans, and renting living space difficult. You may also lose professional licenses, and the consequences will follow you for years or even a lifetime. 

Manufacture or Delivery of a Controlled Substance

"Manufacture or delivery of a controlled substance" involves the illegal production, preparation, or transfer of controlled substances as defined by the Texas Health and Safety Code. "Manufacture" includes creating, processing, or compounding these substances, excluding actions by licensed practitioners. "Delivery" refers to transferring a controlled substance to another person, which can occur through sale or other means. This offense is a felony, with penalties depending on the type and amount of substance, categorized into penalty groups. Penalties range from state jail felonies for small amounts to potential life imprisonment and hefty fines for larger quantities, highlighting the seriousness of the charge and its significant legal implications.

Drug Trafficking

In Texas, "drug trafficking" is a serious criminal offense that involves the illegal distribution, sale, or transport of controlled substances. According to Texas law, drug trafficking encompasses activities beyond simple possession, focusing on the intent to distribute large quantities of illegal drugs. The severity of drug trafficking charges depends on the type and quantity of the substance involved, as well as the offender's prior criminal history.
