Texas Drug Laws Are Tough — So Is Our Defense

Texas divides controlled substances into penalty groups, with consequences that vary depending on the type of drug, quantity, and alleged intent. Whether you’re facing a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge or a felony drug trafficking allegation, Ross Torres will examine every detail of your case to challenge the prosecution’s claims.

We handle all types of drug-related charges, including:

• Possession of a Controlled Substance (e.g., cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, MDMA, LSD)

• Possession of Marijuana or THC Products (including vapes, oils, and edibles)

• Possession with Intent to Distribute

• Drug Manufacturing or Cultivation

• Prescription Fraud or Unlawful Possession

• Federal Drug Charges

• Delivery or Sale of Drugs Near a School Zone

In many cases, law enforcement oversteps its bounds—conducting illegal searches or seizing evidence without probable cause. If your rights were violated, we’ll fight to get the evidence thrown out and charges dismissed.

Penalties for Drug Crimes in Texas

Drug offenses in Texas are classified as either misdemeanors or felonies depending on several factors:

• Type and quantity of drug

• Intent to sell, deliver, or manufacture

• Criminal history or prior drug convictions

• Location of the offense (e.g., near schools or playgrounds)

Penalties can include:

• Jail or prison time

• Thousands of dollars in fines

• Probation and mandatory drug testing

• Driver’s license suspension

• Permanent criminal record

A felony conviction can limit your future opportunities, including employment, loans, housing, and the right to own a firearm. That’s why it’s critical to have a skilled defense attorney who can fight for dismissal, reduction, or alternative resolutions like diversion programs or deferred adjudication.

Diversion & Alternative Sentencing Options

In some cases, especially for first-time offenders, alternative options may be available:

• Pretrial Diversion Programs

• Drug Court Supervision

• Deferred Adjudication

• Probation in Lieu of Jail

We can help determine if you’re eligible for these options and advocate for a resolution that avoids jail time and keeps your record clean.
