Drug charges can range from possession of a small amount of a substance to participation in a large, ongoing enterprise manufacturing or distributing drugs. An experienced criminal defense attorney can help navigate the labyrinth of the legal system, relieving you of some of the horror of the experience.
Although possession of less than two ounces of marijuana is usually a Class B misdemeanor in Texas, possession of any amount of steroids, methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin or ecstasy is a felony charge that can also damage your future. It is also illegal to possess or consume Xanax or Adderall without a prescription. Even a misdemeanor offense should not be taken lightly, as they are punishable with up to 180 days in jail and a fine up to $2000.00. If convicted, a person can also lose his or her driver’s license for up to 180 days.
Possession of cocaine, ecstasy or meth is a felony offense. Punishments depend upon how much of the drug is in your possession, but they can range from 180 days up to 99 years or life in prison.
No matter how small or large your drug case is, the backing of a strong, experienced attorney is necessary. Don’t take chances with your record or your freedom! Contact David W. Kiatta today at (979) 543-6832.
