Drug charges in Texas range from misdemeanor possession to first-degree felony trafficking — with penalties that can follow you for life. We challenge every element of the state's case to protect your freedom and your future.
Days in state jail for even a small-quantity simple possession conviction in Texas — avoidable with the right defense
Drug charges in Texas are prosecuted aggressively, but a charge is not a conviction. The prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you knowingly or intentionally possessed a controlled substance in a specific amount. That burden creates multiple opportunities for a skilled defense attorney.
Our approach begins with a detailed review of how the evidence was obtained. Unlawful searches and seizures, Miranda violations, improperly handled chain of custody, and lab analysis errors are all grounds to challenge evidence — and evidence that cannot be admitted often means charges that cannot survive. We scrutinize every police report, lab result, and search warrant affidavit.
We handle drug cases in Harris County and throughout the greater Houston area, including in the district courts and county courts at law. Our familiarity with local prosecutors and judges allows us to identify the most effective path — whether that's a motion to suppress, a negotiated reduction, a diversion program, or a full trial.
Drug Cases We Defend
Possession of controlled substances including marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, and prescription drugs without a valid prescription — from misdemeanor to felony depending on amount.
When quantity or packaging implies distribution, charges escalate dramatically. We challenge the inference of intent and fight to keep charges from being enhanced to trafficking-level offenses.
First-degree felony charges carrying life in prison. We conduct independent investigations, challenge confidential informant testimony, and scrutinize undercover operation procedures.
Obtaining controlled substances by fraud, forgery, or misrepresentation is a state jail felony. We defend against overcharging and work toward diversion programs where available.
Charges within 1,000 feet of a school, playground, or youth center carry mandatory enhancements. We scrutinize the measurement and applicability of zone designations.
A dismissed or deferred drug charge may be eligible for expunction or non-disclosure. We pursue every available avenue to clean your record after a favorable outcome.
Where Your Case Lives
Most Houston arrests are handled in Harris County courts, but some allegations draw federal attention. Knowing which system you are in shapes every early decision.
