Drug Cases in Texas
Texas is notorious for drug trafficking and drug offenses. As a result, the legislature and courts have taken substantial steps toward increasing the enforcement and penalties associated with drug offenses.

Drug possession in Texas is a crime that can involve several controlled substances and can be charged in varying degrees. A drug case may range from a simple misdemeanor to a complex felony or a federal case.

Texas statutes prohibit any person from knowingly or intentionally:

• Possessing a listed chemical with the intent to unlawfully manufacture a controlled substance
• Possessing or distributing a listed chemical knowing or having reasonable cause to believe that it will be used to unlawfully manufacture a controlled substance
• Any person who violates this section is guilty of a felony

Texas statutes define drug trafficking as knowingly selling, purchasing, manufacturing, delivering or bringing into this state or being in actual or constructive possession of a controlled substance.

Possession: The government must prove that the person had care, custody and control of the illegal drug. An experienced criminal defense attorney will know how to attack the state’s case on this. There may be several defenses to possession.

Smuggling: Drug smuggling is the act of transporting any controlled substance into Texas illegally with the intent to either distribute or possess it. Because drug smuggling often involves crossing state lines, it is a federal crime and follows federal sentencing guidelines.

Intent to Distribute: Being charged with possession of a controlled substance with the intent to distribute increases the seriousness of any drug-related charge. Several factors could lead to this charge, including storing controlled substances in small packages or even having a notepad with phone numbers and schedules in the defendant’s home.
