Facing Marijuana-Related Charges in Texas
Marijuana laws vary significantly across different states, and Texas has some of the strictest regulations regarding the possession and use of marijuana and products containing THC, such as e-cigarettes, lotions, waxes, and more. For those unaware, THC is the psychoactive compound found in marijuana. Understanding the legal consequences associated with these charges is crucial for individuals to make informed decisions as they seek to fight such charges and pursue a favorable case conclusion. And there is no better way to navigate the legal system than to hire a professional. Your lawyer will be your guide through all facets of your case.
Possession of Products Containing THC in Texas
In Texas, possession of marijuana products containing THC is illegal under state law. The severity of the penalties depends on the amount of THC involved and the circumstances surrounding the possession. Possession of less than two ounces of marijuana or products with THC is considered a Class B misdemeanor, leading to 180 days in jail and a fine of up to $2,000. Meanwhile, possession of two to four ounces is a Class A misdemeanor, carrying a potential jail term of one year and a fine up to $4,000.
Enhanced Penalties
Certain factors can lead to enhanced penalties for possession of marijuana or THC products in
Texas. For instance, possession in a drug-free zone, like a school or park, may result in increased charges and penalties. Additionally, possessing more significant amounts of marijuana or THC products can lead to felony charges. For instance, possession of four ounces to five pounds is a state jail felony, punishable by up to two years and a fine of up to $10,000. Possession of more than five pounds can result in even worse penalties, including longer prison sentences and higher fines.
Potential Defenses and Legal Options
When facing marijuana-related charges in Texas, people have various legal options and potential defenses to explore. In other drug cases, you and your criminal defense lawyer may decide to challenge the legality of the search that found the illegal substances, question the accuracy of any lab tests, or negotiate for alternative sentencing options like probation or drug treatment programs.
