Just like cocaine and heroin, possession of methamphetamine is treated as a felony in Texas, regardless of the amount. Possessing under a gram is a state jail felony that can get you a prison term from 180 days to two years, and anything beyond 200 grams will get you 99 years in prison. Charges are similar if offenders are charged with possession with the intent to distribute.
Similar to cocaine, heroin is a powerful narcotic and possession is treated harshly—being caught with any amount can result in a felony charge. However, since heroin abuse is such a rampant problem in Texas, there are a number of drug diversion programs that first-time offenders can be entered into, in lieu of jail time. Diversion programs are offered on a case-by-case basis; the courts must go through a rigorous screening process before granting an offender a diversion.
If you’ve been arrested once before and missed your court date while you were out on bail, you don’t need to worry—all hope hasn’t been lost. You may be required to pay fines up to $10,000 and face jail time depending on your specific case. However, while a warrant will be put out for your arrest and new charges will be filed in addition to your old charges, we’ll still be able to offer you a bail bond to get you out of jail.
Whether you deliver drugs knowingly or otherwise, you can face a criminal charge in Texas. In this state, drugs are divided into five categories depending on the severity of their punishment. Therefore, your penalties are dependant on the type of drug you were delivering and how much you’ve delivered. Fines and jail time can also increase if you were caught within 100 feet of a school or youth center, or within 300 feet of a public pool or arcade.
The state of Texas treats possession of cocaine very seriously, due to its highly addictive nature and the widespread drug abuse associated with it. Anytime you’re caught with cocaine on your person or in your home, you can be charged with a felony. Under one gram is a state jail felony, one to four grams is a third-degree felony, four to 200 grams is a second-degree felony, and anything above 200 grams is a first-degree felony. If you’re charged with possession over 400 grams, you could spend 10 to 99 years in jail and be fined up to $100,000.
Even though marijuana is legal in some states, you can still be penalized for having it in your possession in Texas. Possession of marijuana can refer to physical possession or any part of the growing process—this includes having seeds or a rolled joint on your person. The level of your charge depends on how much of the drug you have. For example: two ounces or less is a misdemeanor that’ll get you 180 days in jail and a $2,000 fine, whereas anything over 2,000 pounds of marijuana can get you 99 years in prison and a $50,000 fine.
Burglary in Texas falls under theft, but its penalties are much harsher. It occurs anytime someone enters or breaks into a building with the intent to commit a felony, theft, or assault inside. Depending on the severity of the crime, punishments can include a prison term in surplus of 20 years and fines ranging from $1,000 to $100,000, as well as restitution and/or probation.
Embezzlement refers to the misappropriation of funds or property. For example, if you entrust your money to someone and they take it for themselves either in part or whole, they’ve embezzled. This crime can be classified as either a misdemeanor or felony, depending on the value of the property or money that was embezzled. Punishments can range from a $1,500 fine to 99 years in prison plus a $200,000 fine.
