What Is A Drug Crime?

If you have been arrested or charged with possession of drugs, tampering with drug evidence or being intoxicated or under the influence of any illegal drug in Texas, you may face a wide range of consequences.

If found guilty of certain crimes, potential penalties may include jail time, probation, lofty fines, drug addiction treatment, and loss of employment or your driver’s license. Drug charges are dependent on many different factors, so a personalized case evaluation by an experienced and knowledgeable criminal defense attorney can be vital.

Types Of Drugs Crimes

There is a long list of drugs that, if found in your possession, can lead to criminal charges. From prescription pills to controlled substances, different drugs come with varying penalties.

  • Possession of a Controlled Substance: The punishments for possession of controlled substances can vary based on the penalty group of the substance and the amount in possession.
  • Possession of Marijuana: Charges for marijuana can range from misdemeanor to felony, and can even affect your driver’s license.
  • Possession of Dangerous Drug: A dangerous drug is defined by the Health & Safety Code as a device or a drug that is unsafe for self-medication and not included in Schedules I through V or Penalty Groups 1 through 4 of Chapter 481 of the Texas Controlled Substances Act.
  • Tampering with Evidence: Altering, destroying or concealing illegal substances during an arrest or investigation can lead to felony charges for tampering with evidence.
  • Possession of Drug Paraphernalia: This includes possessing materials that you intend to use to grow, create, store or profit from a controlled substance.

The unique circumstances surrounding your case will heavily influence any potential plea negotiations, chances of acquittal or guilty verdicts, as well as potential sentencing. Hiring trusted legal representation from the start is vital for the outcome of your case.
