Aggressive Defense Against Drug Crimes in Texas

Being charged with a drug crime is a serious offense that can result in severe penalties if you are convicted. You should take every necessary precaution to protect yourself from the severity of a drug crime conviction.

In Texas, there are five different drug groups categorizing substances based on the potential for abuse compared to their recognized medical use. The penalty you face for a drug crime will depend on the type of drug, the amount in possession, and the specific offense with which you have been charged.

What is Drug Possession?

Possession involves having an illegal substance in your possession. It can be a stand-alone offense or be added to the charge of distribution.
