DRUG CASES
If you’ve been arrested for possession of marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamines, prescription medication, or another drug, you are facing some very serious consequences.
In Texas, drug offenses are serious. Even a tiny amount of marijuana, jut a few gram, for instance, could land you in jail for up to six months. Drug convictions can also get your driver’s license suspended.
If you have a drug charge on your record it could also be difficult to find employment, get student loans, government subsidized housing, food stamps or other government assistance, and could even affect your ability to go to some countries.
YOUR DEFENSE
Defenses to drug charges involve a careful review of the facts: Why were you stopped? Why were you searched? What was found? Where? How can they link you to what was found?
POSSIBLE SCENARIOS
- If the evidence was gathered after an illegal search or seizure it may be possible to have that evidence suppressed and not allowed to be used against you.
- It might also be possible to show that even though you were around drugs – at a house party where drugs were present – or in a car with other people – that the State simply can’t prove that you possessed the drugs.
- Even if the case can be proven, it may be possible to get you into a diversion program or some “terms for dismissal” where you can earn a dismissal.
