If you have had a drug arrest and are subsequently found guilty of possessing or trafficking a controlled substance, the sentence can range from a fine and counseling to years of incarceration in prison. The factors determining the outcome depend upon the amount and kind of drug as well as the quality of your legal representation.

In Texas state court, felony drug cases are classified as first degree, second degree, third degree, and state jail felony. The first degree is the most serious and carries a maximum sentence of imprisonment for life.

Drug crimes are aggressively prosecuted in Texas. All too often individuals are convicted of a drug crime despite the fact that the state has little evidence to hold down the charge. In addition, the alleged offender’s constitutional rights may have been violated during the arrest, thereby nullifying the charges.

If you believe you may be under federal or state investigation for a drug crime, it is critical to your case that you hire a qualified criminal defense attorney right away. Do not risk having your rights violated by neglecting to retain a skilled, experienced criminal defense attorney.
The Houston, Texas law office of Kuniansky & Associates will work diligently to ensure your rights are protected.
