Types of Drug Charges We Defend:

Understanding Drug Schedules

Drug classification is critical to your case. The DEA places substances into five schedules, with Schedule I drugs (like heroin or marijuana in Texas) carrying the harshest penalties.

Our attorneys scrutinize every detail of your arrest—including violations of the Texas Transportation Code—to potentially suppress evidence and dismiss charges.

Penalties for Drug Convictions
