When determining the charges and penalties you may be facing, prosecutors will look into a number of various factors regarding your case. The amount, the type of drugs, and the intended use for the drugs will make a significant difference in the outcome of your case. Texas classifies drugs following the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration’s drug schedule. The scheduling is structured on a scale; the lower the schedule, the higher the penalties you may be facing. The following are examples of drug-related crimes that are prosecuted in the state of Texas:

• Drug possession
• Having paraphernalia on you or your property
• Distributing illegal or controlled substances
• Selling drugs
• Delivery or transport of drugs
• Manufacturing drugs

People charged with a drug crime can face years in jail or prison, steep fines, and mandatory drug-awareness programs. There is a lot on the line when you are arrested and charged with a serious drug offense, and it is important that you contact an attorney as soon as possible. A number of defenses could be used in your case, including proving that you were wrongfully charged, that you were a victim of illegal search and seizure, or that you had a prescription for the substance found.

While this time in your life may seem difficult, it is important that you immediately contact The Goodman Law Firm, and retain the representation of an experienced legal professional. Our founding attorney has 13 years of experience handling complex criminal cases and may be able to help you as well.
