Drug Distribution\u00a0Charge\u00a0Attorneys<\/h2>\n
\u00a0<\/article>\n
Possession with intent to deliver (PWID) is the most likely charge you face if you have been arrested on possession charges and authorities believe that you intended to distribute or sell controlled substances to another party. In some cases, this can be a difficult charge to prove, but if you had a large amount of cash, a weighing scale or drugs separated into separate bags or containers, each of these can be strong evidence against you.Texas courts do not go easy on drug crime offenders. Heavy penalties ranging from a state jail felony to life in prison await drug offenders. Depending on the type of drug (penalty group) and quantity found in one’s possession, a minimum sentence for a distribution or trafficking conviction can range from 180 days to two years in state jail for state jail offenses, accompanied by no more than a $10,000 fine and up to life in prison and a fine of no more than $10,000 for first-degree felonies. Conviction on a first-degree felony charge in a trafficking case carries a sentence of between 15 years and life in prison.
