Drug Crime Defense in Texas

Texas treats drug offenses harshly, with penalties that escalate quickly based on the substance, the amount involved, and the state's interpretation of your intentions. At Roeder Witt, we provide robust drug offense defense for clients throughout Ellis County and Waxahachie facing various drug crimes, from simple possession to manufacturing and distribution—leveraging our years of experience in handling these Texas drug charges.

In Texas, drug crimes are organized into penalty groups, and the classification of your alleged substance determines the severity of the charge. We provide robust drug offense defense against possession, possession with intent to deliver, manufacturing, delivery and distribution, and drug paraphernalia charges. The same quantity of a substance can lead to either a misdemeanor or a serious felony, depending on the specific Texas drug charges and the prosecutor's decision—one that we are skilled at challenging.

More than almost any other type of case, Texas drug charges often hinge on how the evidence was discovered. The Fourth Amendment restricts when police can stop you, search your car, enter your home, or seize your property. If officers violated these rules—such as through an unlawful traffic stop, a search without consent or a warrant, or a faulty search warrant—the evidence collected may be dismissed, causing the case to falter. Our approach to drug offense defense involves scrutinizing every step of how the state obtained its evidence related to drug crimes.

Having made charging decisions in drug crimes ourselves, we understand how prosecutors evaluate these cases, where they tend to overcharge on drug charges, and what makes them willing to reduce or dismiss a drug offense defense. We utilize this knowledge to pursue diversion programs, reduced charges, and dismissals whenever the facts allow.

The earlier we get involved in your case regarding Texas drug charges, the more effective our drug offense defense can be. Contact Roeder Witt, PLLC for a confidential consultation.
