Dallas Criminal Lawyer
Dallas Drug Trafficking and Manufacturing Attorney
While other states have drastically different penalties for manufacturing and trafficking offenses, Texas treats these two offenses in very similar manners. In Texas, the manufacturing and cultivation of illegal drugs is treated the same as trafficking, in fact, the two charges are legally referred to as possession of controlled substances with intent to deliver. These charges are very serious crimes and fighting the accusations requires the assistance of a top Dallas criminal attorney.
Our state has broken down the severity of these crimes based on the type of controlled substance involved. In general, cocaine, GHB, opiates, methamphetamines, rohypnol, and ketamine are considered to belong to the drug category titled “penalty group A.” If you are found in possession of more than 400 grams of any of these substances, you will face between 15 years to life imprisonment with no option for probation. Because these consequences are so dire, it may be beneficial for you to negotiate a plea bargain rather than fight the charges all together. Your Dallas criminal lawyer can help you decide on the most appropriate course of action based on your specific circumstances.
That is not to say that we are not ready and willing to fight for your innocence in court. If you and your Dallas criminal attorney agree that you should plead not guilty, we will immediately go about searching for evidence on your behalf. If your rights were violated in any manner during the investigation or arrest process, we will work to have any evidence related to this infringement of your constitutional rights be deemed inadmissible in the court. This can often be useful in these types of trials, which are often subject to illegal search and seizure methods.
