drug law violations according to drug category in four penalty groups.<\/p><p><strong>Penalty Group 1<\/strong>\u00a0drugs include:<\/p><ul><li>Cocaine<\/li><li>Hydrocodone, codeine, and oxycodone are opioids.<\/li><li>Heroin<\/li><li>LSD<\/li><li>Methamphetamine<\/li><li>Ketamine<\/li><\/ul><p>If you are found with less than 1 gram of a group 1 drug, you face 6-18 months in prison and a $10,000 fine. Between one and four grams is a third-degree crime punishable by 2-10 years in jail and a $10,000 fine. Four to 200 grams of a group 1 drug is a second-degree crime with a two-to-20-year prison sentence and a $10,000 fine. 200-400 grams is a first-degree crime with a 5-99-year jail sentence and a $10,000 fine.<\/p><p><strong>Group 2 substances<\/strong>\u00a0are less harmful than group 1, but still highly addictive and dangerous. Group 2 drugs include ecstasy, amphetamine, PCP, and mushrooms. Possessing less than a gram of a controlled substance is a third-degree crime punishable by two to ten years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Possession of 4 to 400 grams, which is a second-degree crime, carries a punishment of two to ten years in prison. Possessing 400 grams or more of group 2 drugs is a first-degree crime punishable by 5 to 99 years in prison and a fine of $50,000.<\/p><p><strong>Group 3 substances<\/strong>\u00a0include benzodiazepines, Methylphenidate, anabolic steroids, and valium. Possession of fewer than 28 grams is a Class A misdemeanor, and you face a $4,000 fine and a 12-month jail period. Possessing 28 to 200 grams is a third-degree crime punishable by two to ten years in prison and a $10,000 fine. There is a potential 5-99-year jail sentence and $50,000 fine if you possess more than 400 grams.<\/p><p><strong>Penalty group 4<\/strong>\u00a0includes prescribed drugs with abuse potential. Many opioid derivatives are in penalty category 4. The penalties for possessing a penalty group substance vary from six months to life imprisonment for over 400 grams.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element

Drug charges are subject to complex Texas Code regulations, which the State will probably try to enforce fully. A drug possession conviction and other drug crime convictions can result in criminal penalties, lengthy terms in state jail, the revocation of your driver\u2019s license, and mandatory completion of a drug treatment program. Additionally, your future employment options may be hampered by a drug conviction on your criminal record, making it more difficult for you to find housing and pursue educational opportunities.<\/p><p>If you are brought up on criminal drug possession charges or other drug charges in Texas, an experienced attorney can help you understand the law, your rights, and legal defense options.
