What Should You Do if You're Arrested for Drug Sales?

Anything said during questioning can be used against you in court. It is crucial to assert your right to remain silent and request an attorney.

Once legal representation is secured, an attorney can guide you through the next steps of the legal process. Your lawyer will work to review the evidence, identify potential defenses, and challenge any violations of your constitutional rights, such as illegal search and seizure. A lawyer will also help determine whether negotiating a plea deal is in your best interest or if proceeding to trial is necessary. Acting swiftly and securing professional legal assistance is essential to protecting your rights and minimizing the potential consequences of a drug sales charge.

Penalties for Drug Sales in Texas

As with all other drug charges, Texas divides all substances into one of five different penalty groups. This penalty group, along with the amount you are found in possession with, your intent, and any aggravating factors, such as the location of the sale or your intended buyer.

• If you are convicted of selling CDS or possessing them with the intent to sell, you could be facing:
• Prison sentences
• Large fines
• Probation
• Community service

The most dangerous drugs with no accepted medical use generally are considered in penalty group 1 while those with a low addiction possibility and some medical use are considered in penalty group 4. The same is true for the compounds used to manufacture CDS; possession with the intent to manufacture or sell them is also punishable under these laws. Marijuana sales are prosecuted differently, but do still carry similar penalties.
