TEXAS TOUGH DRUG LAWS REQUIRE AN EXPERIENCED SUCCESSFUL DRUG LAWYER

Note that these case summaries do not guarantee results in any future case. The outcome of any individual criminal case depends on the facts and the law in that case.

Possession of Certain Chemicals With Intent To Manufacture a Controlled Substance

The police had gone to my client's house to arrest a woman, but found she was not there. But the police, perhaps in their excitement to execute their arrest warrant, pointed their firearms at my unarmed client. Then the police asked for my client's consent to search his house. (!?!) Saying "no" to a request to search your house isn't so easy when you are staring at the business end of a handgun.

Result: evidence suppressed and case dismissed.

Possession of Marijuana
Class B Misdemeanor

Client was pulled over legally, but the police detained and searched my client illegally.

If you look closely at the Dismissal Form, you'll see an "x" next to a sentence that says "The case has been refiled." That means that the case was reduced from a marijuana case to a non-marijuana related charge my client was willing to plead guilty to. The charge my client did plead to was one that can be erased (expunged) off his record.

Result: case dismissed.

Possession of Marijuana
State Jail Felony

My investigation showed that someone else was in fact guilty of the crime. Ultimately, the guilty person confessed and my client was released from jail. If you look closely at the Dismissal Form, you'll see an "x" next to a sentence that says "The evidence is insufficient."

Result: case dismissed.

Possession of Marijuana
Class A Misdemeanor

Law enforcement officers had hit HH's house early in the morning with a search and arrest warrant. My client was asleep in bed when the police searched her home. Because of irregularities with the warrant and because of difficulties in proving my client possessed the marijuana, the prosecutor offered a dismissal.

If you look closely at the Dismissal Form, you'll see an "x" next to a sentence that says "The case has been refiled." That means that the case was reduced from a marijuana case to a non-marijuana related charge my client was willing to plead guilty to.

Possession of Marijuana

Client was pulled over for a traffic violation. Police officer smelled marijuana. Then client admitted that he had cocaine on him. Client was initially denied admission to the SHORT Court (drug court) program on basis of client's alleged criminal history. With investigation, we showed that the criminal history basis for denial of admission into the SHORT Court program was inaccurate.

Result: cocaine case not indicted. Marijuana case dismissed.
