Conroe Drug Crimes Lawyers

Given all the public policy demands on state and federal legislative bodies, drugs and drug crimes are among the most harshly punished crimes in our society today, even those drug crimes that are considered non-violent. More and more charges are leading to stiff prison terms, and that’s why you need to make sure to contact the Conroe drug crime lawyers at Garg & Associates if you live anywhere in or near Houston, including Spring, The Woodlands, Humble, Kingwood, Tomball, Cypress or anywhere else near the city.

Drug crimes can generally be classified into a few categories, and the Conroe drug crime lawyers at Garg & Associates have handled cases dealing with the following types of charges:

Manufacture/Possession

While every controlled substance has a different threshold before manufacturing it or possessing it becomes a criminal offense, the bottom line is that if you are caught making or possessing any controlled substance over the statutory amount, a defendant could face up to a year in prison for a first-time offense, and additional years for each subsequent offense.

Distribution/Trafficking

Distribution and trafficking of controlled substances is considered a much more serious offense in Texas and everywhere else, and if a defendant is found to have any materials within his or her possession that are clearly for the purpose of distributing narcotics or other controlled substances, that defendant will face felony charges and the potential for several years in prison, depending on the defendant’s prior record and the amounts involved.

Money Laundering

If you sell or distribute drugs, you obviously have to do something with the money, and that “something” can often involve charges of money laundering. Money laundering is passing money through an entity to give the appearance of legitimacy, and this is a serious crime in Texas. In certain circumstances, the defendant could face life in prison if convicted.

Overall, there is much more to be told about drug crimes in Texas. If you face any type of drug-related charge, you need to contact the Conroe drug crime lawyers at Garg & Associates immediately to begin the process of protecting your rights.
