Texas Drug Crime Defense
Severe Consequences
Texas laws are extremely strict concerning offenses related to narcotics and other illicit drugs. Penalties for drug crimes require a drug crime defense to help you deal with everything from probation to fines, jail time or even loss of driving privileges. Most violations of drug laws are covered by the Texas Penal Code and the Texas Controlled Substances Act.
Understanding Different Drug Offenses
The penalties for possession of drugs range from simple misdemeanors to serious felonies, and are dependent upon many factors at the time of arrest. The type and amount of the drug in possession, how it was being carried, concealed and handled, how much (if any) paraphernalia is found and the past record of the offender are all factors taken into account.
There are many different types of drugs, and each classification carries its own offenses and punishment. At The Law Office of Philip M. Gommels, we defend every kind of drug crime allegation.
Hire a Drug Crime Attorney Immediately
Many drug-related charges are resolved by small fines and/or community service. Some prosecutors, however, will attempt to get you to admit to a major drug crime. If you have been arrested and are being questioned by police, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT.
If you or someone you know is facing a drug-related offense investigation, it is vital to immediately contact an experienced drug law attorney. Please call us today for a consultation.
