Attorney, The Law Offices of Carl Ceder
Carl Ceder knows that possession of drugs can be either a felony or a misdemeanor in Texas, and it depends on the amount and type of drugs that you are accused of possessing. Usually, if you are only found with less than four ounces of marijuana in your possession, you will only be charged with a misdemeanor possession charge. However, by contrast, possession of even a small amount of cocaine is considered a felony. Carl Ceder understands that the Texas laws about drug crimes can be confusing. The Texas Health and Safety Code, who governs the possession law, divides controlled substances into five major penalty groups, with an additional category for marijuana. While some of these substances are legal, it is illegal to possess them without a prescription. The classification of these criminal offenses and punishments range based on the drug charges depends on the penalty group in which the particular controlled substance is included and the amount of controlled substance at issue. http://carlceder.org
