Facing Charges for Possession with Intent to Distribute?

By Zendeh Del Law Firm  Jan. 5, 2011 6:39p

In Texas, there is a serious crack down on all drug crimes due to the large prevalence of drugs that are trafficked, distributed and manufactured within the state. Whenever a person is arrested for possession of a drug there is a good chance that if there is a large enough amount of the drug, that person can face charges for possession with intent to distribute. While possession charges alone are generally lenient in first time offense cases, possession with intent charges are very serious and in certain cases, depending upon the amount of the drug, you can be facing very serious criminal penalties, possibly even felony charges. If you've been charged or arrested for possession with intent to distribute you should immediately contact a Plano drug crimes lawyer who can help ensure your rights and your freedom are protected.

If you are convicted on charges for possession with intent to distribute you could not only be facing large fines and officially have a mark on your criminal record, but you could also be facing jail or prison time depending upon the type of drug and the amount of the drug. In some cases it may be possible for your attorney to challenge the evidence against you, especially if after an investigation it is determined that the evidence against you was illegally obtained. If this is discovered, the evidence against you can be nullified and cannot be used against you in trial court.
