Drug Charges

Texas prosecutors continue to press for the strongest penalties allowed by law, despite the fact that studies increasingly demonstrate that strict drug prohibitions are ineffective. Many individuals are surprised to learn that Texas laws still have fairly harsh penalties even if drugs are becoming less of a crime in many other states. Even first-time drug offenders may be subject to draconian fines, involuntary incarceration, or a criminal record that would limit their future employment prospects.

Marijuana vs. Hard Drugs

Possession of less than 2 ounces of marijuana is a class B misdemeanor. However, Texas law views marijuana as pure plant matter, the “buds” that come from the marijuana plant. If marijuana is mixed with food, such as commonly ingested “gummies” some Texas prosecutors charges possession using the “adulterants and pollutants” language in the law to measure the weight of the entire gummy, brownie, etc. In this case, marijuana charges can easily escalate to felony levels.

Possession of hard drugs such as meth, cocaine, heroin, etc. are automatically felony charges, no matter how little substance a person has.

Each case’s punishments are determined by a number of variables, including the amount of drugs used, the offender’s prior criminal history, and the admissibility of particular evidence.
