Understanding Drug Crime Charges in Texas
Drug crime charges in Texas carry severe penalties that can include lengthy prison sentences, substantial fines, and permanent criminal records that affect employment, housing, and educational opportunities. Whether you're facing charges for simple possession, distribution, manufacturing, or trafficking, the consequences can be life-altering.
Texas takes a tough stance on drug offenses, with penalties varying based on the type and amount of controlled substance involved. From marijuana possession to complex conspiracy charges involving multiple defendants, drug cases require experienced legal representation that understands both state and federal drug laws. The prosecution will use every resource available to secure a conviction, which is why having an aggressive defense attorney is crucial to protecting your rights and freedom.
Strategic Drug Crime Defense
Effective drug crime defense requires a thorough understanding of search and seizure laws, chain of custody procedures, and constitutional rights. At Boone Moyle Law, we meticulously examine every aspect of your case to identify potential weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence and build a strong defense strategy.
Our defense approach includes challenging illegal searches and seizures, questioning the authenticity and handling of evidence, examining police procedures during arrest, and identifying constitutional violations. We also investigate whether law enforcement had probable cause for the search, if proper warrants were obtained, and whether your Miranda rights were properly administered. Many drug cases can be dismissed or reduced when evidence is obtained illegally or when proper procedures aren't followed during the investigation.
Types of Drug Charges We Defend
Drug crimes encompass a wide range of charges, from simple possession to complex trafficking operations. Each type of charge carries different penalties and requires specific defense strategies tailored to the circumstances of your case and the evidence against you.
We defend clients against all types of drug charges, including possession of controlled substances, possession with intent to distribute, drug trafficking, manufacturing or cultivation, prescription drug fraud, and conspiracy charges. Our experience includes cases involving marijuana, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, prescription drugs, and synthetic substances.
