How are drug offenses classified in Texas?

A drug offense has many factors in determining whether it will be classified as a felony or misdemeanor. The two most important factors are the type of drug alleged and the quantity. Additional factors, such as whether you are alleged to have been distributing or manufacturing, will likely enhance the charge to a higher degree. Also, where the drugs alleged to have been found can lead to higher classifications.

What should you do if arrested for a drug charge in Ellis County, Texas?

Call an experienced drug possession criminal defense attorney as soon as possible! Texas still maintains a hard line on drug offenses. Unlike states, like California, Texas still provides jail time for drug offenses (i.e. small amounts of marijuana). In addition to criminal penalties, Texas has authorized penalties outside of the court system for those convicted of drug possession, such as "surcharges" and driver's license suspensions.

Can get my Ellis County drug case dismissed?

This is a question often asked by those facing drug possession charges. Some criminal defense lawyers will tell you they can get your case dismissed within the first few minutes of speaking with you. While this may make you feel good, it is not based in reality. The truth is that the facts and circumstances of each case are different, and it takes a full investigation to determine whether your drug charge can be dismissed or if a jury is likely to find you Not Guilty.
