Tyler Drug Charges

Texas has some of the most stringent drug laws on the books of any state in the nation. Penalties of jail time, forfeiture of property, and large fines for violation of these laws are not to be taken lightly. The lawyers at Tonda Curry & Associates can help if you are facing any type of drug charge in Tyler. We are highly skilled in criminal defense of all types of Tyler drug charges including:

Tyler drug manufacturing charges

A Tyler drug manufacturing charge is a serious offense that carries a harsh punishment. You can be facing 15 years to life in prison. Whether you are charged with having a meth lab, or marijuana growing or cultivation, our experienced trial attorneys can help.

Tyler drug possession charges

A Tyler drug possession charge, like all Tyler drug charges, is a serious offense. There are many classes and types of illegal drugs including marijuana, cocaine, ecstacy, meth (crystal meth, methamphetamine), Xanax, Oxycontin, and Vicodin. The types of punishments that apply to illegal drug possession vary according to the amount and type of drugs and most convictions carry stiff penalties including jail time.

It is important to note that it is a criminal offense for a person to knowingly or intentionally possess any usable quantity of marijuana in Texas. Marijuana use is not decriminalized. The possession of minor amounts up to a pound of marijuana generally carry a sentence of six months to two years in a state jail and a $2,000 to $10,000 fine. You may not have to serve time for a drug possession conviction if it is your first offense for a relatively small amount.

Tyler drug distribution charges

If you are found with scales, drugs, and other distribution materials, you will be charged with possession with intent to distribute. A Tyler drug distribution charge has a punishment that varies with the type of substance, the amount of substance and where you were when you were charged with this drug offense. Being near a school increases the amount of the fine and the jail time you may serve.
