Houston Felony Drug Crimes Lawyer

South Texas Defense Attorney for Felony Drug Crimes Cases

Most cases involving the possession of controlled substances, illegal narcotics or illegal possession of prescription drugs will be charged as a felony crime in either Texas state or federal courts. There are three degrees of felony drug crimes:

• A first degree felony is the most serious and can result in 5 to 99 years in prison.
• A second degree felony can result in 2 to 20 years in prison
• A third degree felony can result in 2 to 10 years in prison

The decision to charge your case as a first, second or third degree felony depends upon the type of drug and the amount of drugs believed to be in your "possession." (See the Texas schedule of drugs and controlled substances and associated penalties.) Aggravating factors that can significantly bump up the criminal charges against you include:

• Trafficking drugs across state or national borders
• Weapons present at the scene of the drug bust
• The involvement of a known gang or "criminal enterprise"
