Defending You Against Texas Drug Charges
The most common drug crime is possession. It may sound relatively minor, but possession of even a small amount of any illegal drug can end in jail time and a criminal record. Some substances that often result in drug possession charges are:
- Marijuana
- Powder cocaine
- Crack cocaine
- Heroin
- Methamphetamine (meth)
- Ecstasy or other so-called "club drugs"
In addition, possession of a prescription drug like Xanax, Valium or OxyContin without a valid prescription (or with a prescription obtained by fraud) is a crime. Our firm defends clients accused of possession of a variety of illegal and prescription drugs.
Other drug crimes include possession with intent to deliver, delivery, trafficking, cultivation and manufacturing. Our attorneys have nearly 100 years of combined experience, and we have the knowledge and skill necessary to defend you against any drug-related charge.
Paying Attention to Search and Seizure Issues
Many drug arrests happen during traffic stops or at weigh stations. Local police could work with law enforcement officials from other jurisdictions (including federal officers from the DEA) in an attempt to capture drug traffickers bringing in massive amounts of drugs from Mexico or Central America. Overzealous officers in these situations could also arrest those in possession of just a small amount of a substance.
In addition to defending clients against drug crime charges, our lawyers also help them pursue recovery of property that was seized in conjunction with the arrest.
