Methamphetamine Possession

Working to Avoid Severe Penalties

Methamphetamine is thought to be one of the most addictive drugs and can have lethal consequences for those who might be abusing. That may be part of the reasons why the government cracks down so heavily on this drug and places extreme punishments on those who are discovered to be in possession of it. Possession and/or distribution of meth carries significant weight, and without proper representation, it's very likely that you will do time.

Penalties for Methamphetamine Crimes

Methamphetamine is an illegal drug that carries some of the harshest penalties. It is highly addictive, can be easily abused, and is recognized for its status as a recreational drug. The repercussions for being caught in possession of this drug can be drastic, and could include a sentence that effectively imprisons you for life for the most serious charges, if convicted.

These are the current maximum penalties for methamphetamine possession in Texas:

  • Less than 1 gram: Up to 2 years imprisonment and a $10,000 fine
  • 1-3.99 grams: Between 2 and 10 years imprisonment and a $10,000 fine
  • 4-199 grams: Between 2 and 20 years imprisonment and a $10,000 fine
  • 200-399 grams: Between 5 and 99 years imprisonment and a $10,000 fine
  • 400 grams or more: Between 10 and 99 years imprisonment and a $100,000 fine

Methamphetamine is also frequently manufactured and sold in Texas. These charges can be brought upon you in addition to possession charges. You need to do everything you can to keep your record clean. Contact San Antonio drug attorney Roberto Ambrosino immediately.

  • “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. I never felt like he gave me the run around with my case. He was always available to answer any questions I had. I would definitely hire him again.
