Common Questions About Texas Drug Charges

Texas classifies controlled substances into Penalty Groups 1, 1-A, 2, 2-A, 3, and 4 (Tex. Health & Safety Code §481.102-105). Group 1 (cocaine, heroin, meth) carries the harshest penalties; Group 4 includes prescription-only substances with codeine.

Possession of under 1 gram of a Penalty Group 1 substance (including cocaine) is a state jail felony in Texas — 180 days to 2 years state jail plus a fine up to $10,000 (Tex. Health & Safety Code §481.115).
Can a Texas drug charge be reduced to a misdemeanor?+
Yes — through plea negotiations, pretrial diversion programs (DIVERT), drug court, or motion practice that suppresses evidence. Eligibility depends on the substance, weight, your criminal history, and the county.
What is the difference between possession and possession with intent to deliver?+
Intent to deliver requires the prosecution to prove you intended to sell or distribute. Indicators include quantity beyond personal use, packaging materials, scales, large cash, or buyer-seller communications. Penalties are substantially higher.
Can a search be challenged in a Texas drug case?+
Yes. A motion to suppress can exclude evidence from an unlawful traffic stop, an invalid search warrant, an unjustified vehicle search, or a coerced consent. Successful suppression often results in dismissal.
