      Texas Drug Smuggling Defense Lawyers

      Smuggling controlled substances into and through the U.S. across international and state borders can lead to serious felony charges. As a border state, Texas authorities spend a great deal of time, effort, and resources on locating and prosecuting those who violate state and federal laws concerning the importation, transportation, distribution, sales, manufacture, and trafficking of illegal drugs. These drugs, known as controlled substances, include street drugs such as cocaine, heroin, Ecstasy, or methamphetamine and unauthorized prescription medicines such as oxycodone, hydrocodone, and more. Drug smuggling is generally associated with possession of drugs with the intent to sell or distribute or drug trafficking charges.

      Drug Smuggling Charges & Penalties In Texas

      Texas maintains a Controlled Substances Act similar to the federal act of the same name. This Act outlines various categories of drugs and the penalties involved in possession with the intent to sell or distribute or the transportation, importation, manufacture, or trafficking of these drugs. Under this Act, illegal drugs are classified into four groups based on their degree of danger and addictiveness. Under this Act, you can expect penalties based on the kind of drugs you were convicted of smuggling and the quantity involved. Repeat offenses generally carry harsher sentences than those convicted for the first time.

      If convicted of drug felony charges, you may face penalties ranging from those of a state jail felony to those of a first-degree felony, which is the most serious. Thus, punishments can range from 180 days to two years in state jail with fines of up to $10,000 or, in the most serious cases, prison terms ranging all the way up to life in prison. Distributing less than a gram for certain drugs will be charged as a state jail felony, while distributing more than 400 grams will lead to a first-degree felony.
