Criminal Lawyer Serving Harris and Montgomery County
Drug laws vary from state to state, but in Texas, drug possession is a serious offense that could potentially land you in jail.
If you are caught with controlled substances or driving under the influence in Texas, you could go to jail for a long time. That said, depending on the charges and your criminal history, your defense attorney may be able to help reduce your sentence by recommending that you go to rehab instead of jail.
What is the punishment for drugs in Texas?
According to this article from Nova Recovery Center – At a minimum, the charge for drug possession in Texas is either a “Class B” or “Class A” misdemeanor. This carries a penalty of up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $4,000, depending on the type of drug.
DWI With Marijuana
Most people equate driving while intoxicated with alcohol, but you can be charged with the offense if you are caught driving while under the influence of marijuana as well. If a police officer pulls you over and determines that you do not have the normal use of your mental or physical capabilities because you ingested marijuana, you can be arrested for DWI.
The penalties you face for a DWI with marijuana will be charged the same if you were caught driving while intoxicated by alcohol. A first offense is a Class B misdemeanor that entails a minimum of 72 hours in jail, a fine that can cost up to $2,000, and a license suspension for 90 days to a year.
