Arrested for Drugs in Texas? We Can Help.

Many people mistakenly think that being arrested for possessing a small amount of marijuana is not too serious. The truth is, if charged with drug possession, you can face up to a year in jail, a heavy fine and the loss of your driver’s license. You will also have a permanent criminal record.

Possessing even a small amount of marijuana or other drug in Plano, Texas, or anywhere throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex can get you in serious trouble with the police and the Collin County prosecutor.

We Can Help Determine if You Are Eligible for Deferred Adjudication

The state of Texas offers an option for first-time offenders in which a conviction will be set aside upon the successful completion of a sanctioned drug rehabilitation or awareness program. Deferred adjudication is a type of probation that allows you to avoid the stigma of a criminal conviction. Our lawyers will explore whether this option may be right for you. If you are not eligible for a dismissal or an acquittal, we will work vigorously with the prosecution to find a deferred adjudication and narcotics program that is the best fit for you.
