How Does Texas Prosecute Drug Possession?

Like most states, Texas has a scale regarding illegal drugs, classifying them according to their potential danger for addiction and side effects. What type of drug, the amount found, and any previous offenses on your record will all play a part in how you are prosecuted.

For example, if you are arrested for a first offense for possessing less than two ounces of marijuana, you may be able to secure alternative sentencing rather than full penalties. However, if you have two previous offenses and have several grams of cocaine, you could be facing much harsher repercussions.

Group 1 drugs carry the following penalties:

  • Up to 2 years in jail for less than 1 gram
  • Up to 10 years in prison for 4 grams

Group 2 drugs will bring the following penalties:

  • Up to 2 years in jail for less than 1 gram
  • Between 2 and 10 years in prison for 4 grams
  • Up to 1 year in jail for 28 grams of illegal prescription medication

In addition to jail time, many convictions will bring up to thousands of dollars in fines, depending on the amount in possession and the location the crime took place. Penalties can increase if the crime was committed on school property.

  • “I would highly recommend him if ever you need an attorney.”
    I contacted Mr. Ambrosino about an issue we were having about two months ago. He was very responsive and always easy to communicate with. If ever I had a question during the process, he was quick to respond with an answer. He was kind enough to even email me while on vacation with his own family which showed he truly cares about his clients. Mr. Ambrosino took the time to educate me on the current laws and the court process. He sent me all the court filings and paperwork for my own files and always kept me up to date. In the end we received the outcome we were hoping for and I attribute that to Mr. Ambrosino’s hard work and knowledge. I would highly recommend him if ever you need an attorney. Thank you for your help Mr. Ambrosino.

  • “Mr. Roberto Ambrosino is an amazing lawyer!!!”
    Mr. Roberto Ambrosino is an amazing lawyer!!! I can not speak highly enough he is quick, efficient, and professional! I did everything online, through mail, and the phone. He kept in touch about every aspect of my case. After I sent documents and made a payment he approached the judge soon after and my case was closed. I am extremely pleased with his services. I highly recommend him. Now a few years later I reached out to him again regarding obtaining documents and again he is very communicative and on top of everything. I am a very satisfied customer.

  • “Mr. Ambrosino is a true professional. He truly delivers on his word.”
    Mr. Ambrosino is a true professional. He truly delivers on his word. When the prosecutor pushed back to prevent my acceptance into the PreTrial Diversions Program, Mr. Ambrosino fought back and earned my acceptance into PTD. Once I am done with PTD, he will be expunging my charge so that my record is clean for graduate school. Thank you Mr. Ambrosino.

    Mr. Ambrosino is an amazing lawyer. He is very matter of fact and to the point. He was able to get my case dismissed when all other lawyers told me that it would be impossible.
