Drug Crimes

Houston, Texas, drug penalties amongst the country’s harshest

Being charged with a drug crime in Houston (or anywhere in Texas) will subject you to some of the most severe drug penalties in the US. Texas has made the consequences of drug dealing - otherwise known as drug delivery - so extreme that an especially serious classification has been created:  “enhanced first-degree felony” that has a 99 year prison sentence at its upper limit – in addition to a fine of up to $250,000.  Additionally, the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure allows the seizure of any property used in the commission of the drug offense. How extreme is this? Your house or car or boat or any property may be seized if it is involved in transporting or concealing drugs. Conviction of a drug crime in Houston can ruin your life and put you behind bars forever. Have you been charged with a drug crime such as possession of marijuana or other drug, or distribution of a controlled substance, intent to sell, or federal drug crime in the Houston area? If so, it is in your best interest to obtain the skilled legal services of a Houston criminal defense attorney who specializes in drug crimes. You can call our office now for a free consultation.  

What if you are truly innocent?

It is well known that a substantial percentage of Houston drug arrests are invalid. What are some of the reasons?

• Evidence illegally seized in violation of your Constitutional rights
• Defective and/or illegal search warrants
• Defective and/or illegal arrest warrants
• Lack of probable cause
• Illegal detention
• Lack of consent to search
• Tainted evidence
• Manufactured evidence
• Racial discrimination or profiling

Were the circumstances of your drug case partly or wholly manufactured by the arresting officers or other persons involved in your case? Are you aware of the specific details? Your participation in your own case is of vital importance, even if it simply involves conveying the details and information to your criminal defense lawyer so that he may fully investigate the circumstances. Did you know that sometimes the facts surrounding the alleged offense are so grossly manufactured that you may be able to help your attorney prove your innocence simply by stating where you actually were at the time and date of the arrest, so that he can obtain the evidence, which may exist in street, store, or bank surveillance cameras? Did you know that your alibi may be corroborated by these cameras, or witnesses, or even passers-by?  Get the help you need with an experienced Houston drug crimes attorney. Let him help you prove your innocence.
