Drug Crimes: Drug Possession

When you are found possessing drugs in the state you are in violation of the Texas Controlled Substances Act. The state divides drugs up into classes each with their own guidelines and penalties. Drug crime c harges may involve rehabilitative drug programs, educational programs, jail time, fines license suspension and more. Your charges can increase as well if law enforcement has reason to believe that you possess drugs with the intention of selling them. This can be the way the drugs are packaged, if there are packaging materials such as baggies or if there are instruments such as scales found.

Whether the offense you are accused of is considered a misdemeanor or felony is dependent on a number of factors such as the amount of weight of the drug found. Your charges will also depend on the amount of drugs, the type of drug and if you have past convictions. While some cases are only misdemeanors, in the state highest punishment available includes a life sentencing of 99 years in jail and $250,000 in fines.
