In Texas, marijuana, heroin, Ecstasy (MMDA/Molly), PCP, LSD and cocaine are classified as controlled dangerous substances (CDS) — and so are the compounds used to manufacturer them.

Depending on the drug and the amounts, charges and penalties can range from a relatively small fine and months of jail time to fines closer to $100,000 and a lifetime sentence. Even conviction on lesser charges can lead to driver’s license suspension and seizure of your car or property, not to mention a criminal record that will follow you throughout your life.

The state must prove the drugs were found on you or in your control after a LEGAL search. You need an experienced drug possession lawyer to build a case challenging the legality of the search, effectively suppressing the evidence so the state can’t prove its case.
