WHAT DEFENDANTS NEED TO KNOW Texas Drug Crimes While some states have decriminalized — or even legalized — the use of certain narcotics that are illegal on a federal level, Texas has not. While medical marijuana is allowed to treat certain conditions, its use is far from condoned by the state government. In fact, in January 2024, the state of Texas sued five cities, including Austin and San Marcos, for decriminalizing low-level marijuana possession. Texas penalizes drug crimes seriously, which is why you need a serious defense attorney in the event you are charged with possession, distribution, manufacture, or other related crimes. Drug Classifications Texas separates illegal drugs into different groups based on the danger they pose. The lower the number, the greater the risk. For example, heroin, cocaine, and crystal meth are part of Group 1. Anabolic steroids and benzodiazepines are part of Group 4. Marijuana is classified separately, as medical marijuana is legal in some circumstances. Proper Representation is Key We understand that facing drug charges can be frightening, and the results of those charges can be life-altering. The prospect of incarceration, especially for an extended period of time, and being separated from friends and loved ones can be especially taxing emotionally and mentally. The
good news is that you are not defenseless — far from it. With an experienced attorney, you can dramatically improve your chances of reaching a satisfactory legal outcome for your case. Innocent Until Proven Guilty Remember: You are innocent until proven guilty. State prosecutors must prove every facet of a case to secure a conviction. You have a good chance of an acquittal if there is a reasonable doubt. Having a legal representative who understands the ins and outs of the criminal justice system in Texas, has ample trial experience, and a vested interest in your case can be an exceptional help to those charged with drug crimes.
