Marijuana Offenses in Texas

While Texas thankfully doesn't treat marijuana as the Schedule I drug the federal government lists it as, charges involving weed are still serious with very real consequences.

These are the most common drug offenses that our Hutto marijuana attorneys can help you overcome:

• • Possession - Easily the most common weed-related offense, you can be charged with possession even if all the police find consists of stems, seeds, or even residue on a pipe.

• • Paraphernalia - Pipes, bongs, roach clips, rolling papers, and even baggies can all count as paraphernalia, the possession of which is a Class C misdemeanor.

• • Manufacturing / Cultivation - Growing marijuana can result in serious penalties, especially if the authorities decided that you had the intent to distribute.

• • Distribution / Selling - Selling marijuana is almost as common of a weed offense as possession. If you are accused of selling marijuana near a school or certain other public areas, your charges could increase by an additional level of severity.

• • Trafficking - Transporting marijuana is a crime that's taken seriously by both the Texas state government and the federal government. If the trafficking is alleged to have crossed state lines, you could be looking at a federal offense.
