Austin Drug Cases Attorney

Drug Charges Overview

Drug charges are taken very seriously in Texas and can carry a wide range of punishments from fines and probation to lengthy prison sentences, usually depending on the type and amount of the drug and your previous criminal history. These crimes can involve violations of federal or state law, or both. Whether you are charged with drug possession, drug sales, drug manufacturing or drug distribution, the consequences of a drug conviction can have serious long-term implications. Beyond the fines and the possibility of incarceration, a drug offense conviction could lead to your driver’s license being suspended, affect your ability to rent an apartment, eligibility for student loans and even cost you your job or impact your ability to pursue the career of your choice.  Some of the most common drug crimes upon which individuals are arrested for in Austin, Texas are possession of a controlled substance (POCS), possession of marijuana (POM), possession of a dangerous drug, possession of drug paraphernalia (PDP), cultivation of marijuana, possession with intent to deliver and possession with intent to distribute.

Fighting Against Illegal Searches and Seizures

Particularly in drug cases, the legality of how law enforcement officials obtained the evidence used to support the State's case is a central and often-challenged issue. The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution protects individuals against unreasonable searches and seizures by the government.  If the government's conduct violated the Fourth Amendment, the evidence is deemed inadmissible. Without the necessary evidence to prove the criminal charges, the State may have to dismiss its case against a defendant.  If you have been charged with a drug crime, it’s important that you immediately contact an aggressive and experienced criminal defense attorney who can investigate and advise you as to whether the evidence leading to your arrest may have resulted from an illegal search or seizure.
