In Texas, the potential punishment for a possession of marijuana offense varies based on the quantity of marijuana you are accused of possessing.
Possession of Marijuana 0-2 ounces
Possession of marijuana 0-2 oz. is a class B misdemeanor. The range of punishment is from a $0 to a $2000 fine and from 0 days to 180 days in jail.
Possession of Marijuana 2-4 ounces
Possession of marijuana 2-4 oz. is a class A misdemeanor. The range of punishment is from a $0 to a $4000 fine and from 0 days to 1 year in jail.
Possession of Marijuana 4 oz to 5 pounds
Possession of marijuana 4 oz to 5 lbs. is a felony in the State of Texas. The range of punishment is from $0 to a $10,000 fine and from 180 days to 2 years in the Texas Department of Corrections.
The manner in which the law enforcement officer obtained the alleged drugs from the accused is an important part of the case. Our marijuana possession defense lawyers have represented many clients charged with drug possession. Our marijuana possession defense attorneys may be able to suppress the way in which the officer obtained the drugs from you, resulting in a dismissal of your case.
In addition, a conviction for a possession of marijuana offense has consequences outside of what the punishment the State of Texas assesses against you. If you are found guilty of a drug offense you will be declared ineligible to receive financial aid from the federal government for student loans. Furthermore, a conviction for a drug offense could result in a suspension of your driver’s license and assessment of surcharges.
More information regarding penalties for drug possession offenses is contained within the Texas Controlled Substances Act, Sections 481.115-481.122.
