Texas Drug Charge Lawyer
A drug charge in Texas carries with it serious consequences. A minor charge like Possession of Drug Paraphernalia is punishable by a fine of up $500, but carries with it other consequences depending on your age. Serious felony drug charges are punishable by up to life in prison. Even something as little as a roach or shake can be punished by up to 6 months in jail and a driver's license suspension. If you are facing drug charges, then you need an experienced lawyer to fight for your rights.

- The police will charge you if they determine that you have "usable" quantity. The prosecutor will argue that even 0.01 grams is a usable amount. Unlike in other states, there is no defense in Texas to possess marijuana for "personal use," nor is there a defense to possess marijuana for medicinal purposes.
