You never thought it would happen to you. One minute, you're going about your life, and the next - BOOM! You're facing drug trafficking charges that threaten to derail everything you've worked so hard for.Your freedom, your future, your family - it's ALL on the line. And let's be real, the state of Texas doesn't mess around when it comes to throwing the book at alleged drug traffickers.But here's the thing: Just because you've been ACCUSED of a crime doesn't mean you're guilty. And it certainly doesn't mean you don't deserve the most aggressive, skilled, and passionate defense possible.That's where we come in.

With over 50 years of combined experience and a track record of thousands of cases won, we've built a reputation as one of the premier drug trafficking defense firms in the nation.Understanding Texas Drug Trafficking Laws
First things first - let's break down what "drug trafficking" actually MEANS under Texas law. You might be surprised to learn that you don't have to be some big-time cartel kingpin to face these charges.In the Lone Star State, drug trafficking includes ANY act of selling, transporting, or importing illegal controlled substances. And we're not just talking about massive quantities either. Even a small amount can trigger a trafficking charge if prosecutors believe there was intent to distribute.The type of drug matters too. Texas divides controlled substances into "penalty groups" based on their potential for abuse and medical value. The most serious charges involve drugs in Penalty Groups 1 and 2, like:- Cocaine
- Heroin
- Meth
- Opioids
- Ecstasy
- PCP
- LSD
Penalties for Drug Trafficking in Texas
Now brace yourself, because this is where things get SERIOUS. Texas has some of the harshest drug sentencing laws in the country. We're talking decades behind bars and six-figure fines.The exact penalties depend on the type and amount of the drug, but trafficking convictions often lead to:Drug Quantity | Penalty |
---|---|
Less than 1 gram | State jail felony: 6 months - 2 years in state jail |
1 - 4 grams | 2nd degree felony: 2 - 20 years in prison |
4 - 200 grams | 1st degree felony: 5 - 99 years or life in prison |
200 - 400 grams | Enhanced 1st degree felony: 10 - 99 years or life in prison and up to $100,000 fine |
400+ grams | Enhanced 1st degree felony: 15 - 99 years or life in prison and up to $250,000 fine |
Collateral Consequences of a Drug Trafficking Conviction
But the nightmare doesn't end there. On TOP of prison time and massive fines, a drug trafficking conviction can nuke almost every aspect of your life:- Kissing your voting rights goodbye
- Losing access to student loans and housing assistance
- Getting denied for jobs and professional licenses
- Watching your kids get taken away by CPS
- Facing deportation if you're not a U.S. citizen
