Potential Penalties for a Drug Crime Conviction
Drug crimes are taken very seriously in Texas, and the penalties for a conviction can be severe. Potential punishments for drug possession, sale, or trafficking vary depending on certain factors, such as the type and amount of drug involved, as well as whether it was for personal use or with intent to distribute. For example, possessing 1 to 4 grams of cocaine is considered a third-degree felony in Texas, which can result in fines of up to $10,000 and jail time ranging from 2 to 10 years. Possessing more than 4 grams can lead to even harsher penalties. It is also important to note that these penalties can be enhanced if the offense occurred near a school or involved minors.
In addition to fines and jail time, a drug crime conviction in Texas can also have long-term consequences such as difficulty finding employment or housing due to having a criminal record. It's important for anyone facing drug charges in Texas to seek legal representation from an experienced criminal defense attorney who can help navigate the complex legal system and work towards minimizing the potential consequences.
