Experienced Defense Against Drug Distribution Charges in Williamson County
Texas law enforcement agencies and prosecutors are avidly fighting the War on Drugs. If you are suspected of any type of drug crime, you will most likely be charged to the highest degree possible, based on all available evidence. This approach is designed to not only punish the offender thoroughly enough to prevent a repeat occurrence, but also to set a cautionary example to others. For this reason, a criminal charge of drug possession will often be increased to possession with intent to distribute, even when there is little or no sound evidence that the suspect was involved in sales, trafficking or other distribution of drugs.
Two of the major reasons you might face charges of drug distribution are:
If you were found with extraordinarily large quantities of a controlled substance, it will often be presumed that you were intending to distribute the drug to others
If in addition to the drugs, you were discovered to be in possession of paraphernalia such as scales, baggies and similar items that are commonly involved in selling or transporting drugs
Distribution is normally charged as a felony in Texas, punishable by time in prison, thousands of dollars in fines and lengthy terms of strict probation. If you have a prior conviction, or if you were arrested for distribution in proximity to a school, local courts will typically deliver the stiffest sentence available.
