El Paso, TX, faces many drug crime challenges, and law enforcement takes these offenses very seriously. If you find yourself facing drug charges in El Paso, understanding the nature of these charges is crucial to building a solid defense. Depending on the circumstances and the types of drugs involved, you may be charged with several offenses, including:
Marijuana Possession
In Texas, marijuana is mostly illegal, with only low-THC cannabis products permitted for medicinal use by patients with epilepsy. Possession of marijuana, regardless of the amount, is against the law and can lead to criminal prosecution. Depending on how much marijuana you possess, you could be charged with either a misdemeanor or a felony.
Marijuana Cultivation & Distribution
If there is evidence that you have grown, cultivated, distributed, or sold marijuana illegally, you could face charges for manufacturing or distributing marijuana. The severity of these charges, whether misdemeanor or felony, depends on the quantity involved. Contact The Law Office of Abrar & Vergara to discuss your defense options for these charges.
Cocaine Possession
Being found with cocaine on your person, in your vehicle, or on your property is a serious offense in Texas. Any amount of cocaine possession can lead to significant fines and lengthy prison sentences. To understand the potential penalties of cocaine possession, reach out to an El Paso drug lawyer as soon as possible.
Cocaine Production & Distribution
If evidence suggests involvement in producing cocaine, you could be charged with drug manufacturing. Similarly, transporting cocaine can lead to distribution charges. Both offenses carry severe penalties, including years of imprisonment and heavy fines.
Heroin Possession
Possessing heroin in any form is illegal and classified as a felony. Even possessing less than 1 gram can result in up to 2 years in jail, while larger amounts can lead to decades in prison. If you are facing heroin possession charges, contact an El Paso drug attorney immediately.
Heroin Production & Distribution
Manufacturing or facilitating the production or distribution of heroin is a felony offense. These crimes can result in life imprisonment, depending on the quantity involved. To learn more about these charges and how to defend yourself, consult with an attorney promptly.
Methamphetamine Possession
Possessing any amount of methamphetamine without a prescription is illegal in Texas and nationwide. Being found with meth on your person, in your vehicle, or at your residence results in felony charges. Understanding the charges and your legal options is crucial if you're accused of meth possession.
Methamphetamine Production & Distribution
The creation of meth in clandestine labs is a widespread issue. If law enforcement suspects your involvement in meth production, you will be arrested and charged with a felony. Similarly, any involvement in the distribution of meth, whether as a middleman or a seller, will lead to felony charges.
Drug Trafficking
Producing, distributing, or possessing controlled substances with the intent to distribute is illegal under state and federal laws. Having large quantities of drugs or transporting them in or out of the state can result in serious charges. If you face federal drug trafficking charges in Texas, an experienced El Paso drug lawyer familiar with federal courts is essential.
Federal Drug Crimes
You may encounter federal drug charges if the alleged offenses occurred on federal property, at a port of entry into the country, or across state lines. A conviction could lead to extended sentences in federal prison. It's critical to consult with a federal drug crimes lawyer for assistance.
