      We are here to help. Our attorneys can answer your questions and offer straightforward guidance regarding your concerns.<\/div><\/header>
      <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div>
      What Are My Rights After An Arrest?<\/div>
      \n

      You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. You are not required to consent to a search of your car, home, or person \u2014 officers need a warrant, your voluntary consent, or a recognized legal exception. Never consent to a search, and do not explain or justify anything found. Speak with an attorney before answering questions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

      Can drug charges be dismissed if the search was illegal?<\/div>
      \n

      Yes, potentially. If law enforcement searched your car, home, or person without a valid warrant, your consent, or a legal exception, any evidence found may be suppressed. When the evidence is thrown out, the State often cannot proceed, and the case may be dismissed or significantly weakened.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

      What's the difference between possession and possession with intent to distribute?<\/div>
      \n

      Simple possession involves having a controlled substance for personal use. Possession with intent to distribute is a more serious charge based on factors like quantity, packaging, scales, cash, or other evidence suggesting the drugs were meant for sale, and it carries substantially harsher penalties.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

      How is a drug charge classified as a misdemeanor or a felony?<\/div>
      \n

      In Texas, drug penalties depend on the type and quantity of the controlled substance, which the law organizes into penalty groups. Marijuana is treated separately from substances like cocaine, methamphetamine, or heroin. Charges can range from a Class B misdemeanor to a first-degree felony carrying up to life in prison.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

      Will a drug conviction affect my ability to get financial aid or a professional license?<\/div>
      \n

      Yes, in many cases. A drug conviction can affect eligibility for federal financial aid, certain professional licenses, and some forms of housing. Understanding these collateral consequences early is an important part of building the right defense strategy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
