An arrest on drug charges falls into one of two categories. It is either a “possession” type crime or the more serious charge of “distribution/delivery.” Although the approach is different, we have successfully represented clients in both situations. It is imperative that the exact circumstances of the arrest be scrutinized in order to determine whether search and seizure laws were followed by law enforcement. If not, motions to suppress the evidence are required and, if granted, can end the case at that point. In cases in which the underlying problem may be one of substance abuse, judges and juries often look closely at attempts to rehabilitate. We assist our clients in a careful review of treatment options. Regardless of the type of drug charge, the Law Offices of Don Tittle takes an outcome-oriented approach and will engage in a multi-faceted defense, with our client’s best interest guiding the way.

Misdemeanor Drug Charges

Under Texas law, drug offenses are categorized as felonies or misdemeanors, based on the type and amount of drugs involved, and whether there were prior drug convictions. While misdemeanors are considered to be lesser crimes, they can still leave a person facing lasting consequences of a criminal conviction. Jail time, fines, loss of driver’s license, difficulty obtaining a job or occupational license, immigration issues… these are all possible results of a misdemeanor drug conviction and reasons for seeking the assistance of an experienced, aggressive attorney.

Felony Drug Charges

Certain drug offenses are classified as felonies, regardless of the quantity involved. Possession of any of the following substances can expose an individual to more serious felony punishment ranges:

• Cocaine, Methamphetamine, Heroin, Codeine, Hydrocodone, Rohypnol and GHB
• LSD
• Ecstasy, PCP and Mescaline.

Penalties for felony drug offenses include incarceration for a term ranging from 180 days to life and fines of up to $50,000. In certain cases, an accused may be eligible for probation.
