Drug Charge Law Firm
— Drug Crime Lawyers in Houston, TX
Drug Crime Defense in Houston, TX
A drug charge can affect more than your record. It can impact your job, your license, and your future opportunities.
In Harris County, drug crimes are prosecuted aggressively, and the penalties can be severe even for first-time offenses. At Parrish Law Firm, we defend clients facing all types of drug charges, from simple possession to felony-level distribution or manufacturing.
We understand how quickly these cases can escalate and how often they involve searches, traffic stops, or arrests where key facts are overlooked. Our goal is to review the details, challenge weak or unlawful evidence, and help protect your freedom.
Common Drug Charges in Texas
Possession of a Controlled Substance
This is one of the most common charges we see in Houston courts. It can involve small amounts of marijuana, prescription pills, cocaine, methamphetamine, or other drugs. The level of the charge depends on the substance and amount involved.
Possession with Intent to Deliver
If the police believe you had more than a “personal use” amount or evidence of distribution (like baggies or scales), you may be charged with intent to deliver. This charge carries steeper penalties and often depends on how the arrest was documented.
Manufacture or Delivery of a Controlled Substance
This is a serious felony charge. It can result from an investigation, a traffic stop, or a larger operation involving search warrants. We look closely at how evidence was collected and whether your rights were violated during the investigation.
Drug-Free Zones and Enhancements
Being arrested near a school, park, or certain public areas can increase the penalties. Prior convictions may also enhance the charge, even if the amount of the drug was low.
What We Focus On
- Was the stop or search legal?
- Was the drug properly identified and tested?
- Did officers follow the correct procedures?
- Can the state prove actual possession or intent?
We use these questions to shape your defense and fight for a fair outcome—whether that’s dismissal, reduced charges, or treatment-based alternatives.
