Lubbock Drug Crimes Lawyer

Fighting Against the Toughest Charges

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.
