Penalties for a Drug Crime Conviction in Texas
Specific penalties for Dallas drug crime convictions are dependent upon the specific circumstances in the situation. The type of drug or drugs, how much was found and what was being done with it determine the amount of fines and/or jail time prosecution will seek.
Texas laws divide penalties into 5 groups plus a 6th specifically regarding marijuana. Felony criminal cases for drugs carry penalties ranging from 6 months in the jail to life in prison and a fine up to $10,000 for cocaine, heroin, meth, and similar drugs.
Misdemeanor convictions exist for drug crimes involving illegal possession or sale of prescription drugs (Xanax, Ritalin, etc.) and drugs containing motofen, buprenorphine, and similar compounds along with fines of $4000 and up to one year in jail for having less than 28 grams of the drug. Fines and jail time increase significantly with larger amounts of the drug or drugs in question. These are very serious charges that can severely impact and disrupt your life.
