Possession of Methamphetamine

Methamphetamine Possession

Have you been arrested for possession of methamphetamine in Houston or Harris County? If you have, the severity of your charge could vary. The potential range of punishment will depend on how much methamphetamine you have been found with. The penalties begin at state jail felony, which carries a maximum of two years in state jail, and go up from there.

Being found guilty of possession of any amount of methamphetamine will be a felony—even if it is less than one gram. Meth is classified with the most addictive and dangerous drugs under Texas law. This means that you will face the harshest possible penalties if convicted of possession of methamphetamine.

Methamphetamine is Something Police Pursue Aggressively

Meth has become a major problem in Texas in recent years. This has resulted in the possession of methamphetamine something that judges and law enforcement pursue aggressively, especially in Houston.

If you are distributing or selling methamphetamine, the penalties are more severe. In Harris County, prosecutors routinely charge individuals for trace amounts, such as the dusty residue found on surfaces. Prosecutors are known to bring charges for even several hundredths of a gram.

Texas Methamphetamine Possession Penalties

The penalties for possession of meth are high. This table reflects the maximum allowable penalties under Texas law.

Amount of Meth	Offense Classification	Penalty
Less than 1 gram	State jail felony	Up to 2 years in prison and $10,000
1 gram- 3.99 grams	3^rd degree felony	2-10 yrs. in prison and $10,000
4- 199 grams	2^nd degree felony	2- 20 yrs. in prison and $10,000
200- 399 grams	1^st degree felony	5- 99 yrs. in prison and $10,000
400 grams +	Enhanced 1st-degree felony	10- 99 yrs. in prison and $100,000

Just Because You Are Charged Does Not Mean You Are Guilty

I often speak to clients and potential clients who believe that they were caught red handed and that there would be no chance of defending their case. However, there are many ways to fight the charges against you. It is crucial that you call me so to discuss your case.

In Houston where I primarily practice, people who are facing a possession of a methamphetamine possession charge commonly believe that they are guilty because they were caught with drugs. This is not necessarily the case. There are many ways to fight the charges against you.

Fighting Your Meth Charge

If you have been charged with either possession or sale of meth in Houston, you need to ensure that your rights are protected. You should speak with a drug defense lawyer at Zavala Texas Law as soon as you know that you are going to be charged with any drug offense. With the help of your attorney, you can work together to build a case that will maximize your chances of a successful outcome in your specific case.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are incredibly grateful for the representation our family received from this office. Throughout our case, we valued their accessibility, responsiveness, honesty, compassion, and professionalism. Immigration is an incredibly complicated and stressful process, and having an attorney who was directly involved and attentive to the details gave us an additional sense of confidence and security.

I also appreciated the transparency regarding fees. Immigration can be an expensive and emotionally overwhelming process, particularly in the current political climate, where fear can easily influence people's decisions. We never felt pressured into unnecessary services or that our concerns were being used to sell us something. The pricing was straightforward, and we felt that we were being advised based on what our cases actually required.

No experience is perfect, and there were some bumps in the road. However, we had the right legal counsel on our side. What matters most to our family is that both of my parents' adjustments of status were successfully resolved, and one didn’t even require an immigration interview!

I don't think I can fully express what that means to us. Our lives will be different because of what this office was able to do for us. For that, we will always be deeply grateful. Thank you to attorney Charles Zavala and the entire team for representing our family and helping us reach a place we once weren't sure was possible. And, not to sound like a Super Bowl winning quarterback celebrating a victory, but… we’re going to Disney! Lol More importantly, my parents are going to be able to join their grandchildren on trips and make memories together for the rest of our lives.
