The state of Texas has established some of the strictest possession laws in the nation. According to the state’s health and safety code, possession charges will be prosecuted under one of four penalty groups, which are determined by the type of drug in question.
Possession with intent to distribute is an enhanced charge that generally occurs when a person is in possession of a large amount of a controlled substance and there is evidence that sales have or will take place. As a felony offense, this drug crime is punishable by fines, imprisonment, and probation.
Sales charges typically involve a transaction between two or more parties in which a controlled substance is exchanged. Regardless of the drug in question, sales charges are usually prosecuted as felony offenses and carry stiff penalties and terms of incarceration.
Texas imposes very serious penalties for offenders convicted of distribution. Similar to trafficking allegations, distribution charges result from the distribution or delivery of controlled substances. When determining terms of imprisonment, prosecutors will consider the type of drug and the amount of drug being distributed.
The manufacturing of a controlled substance is a serious crime in the state of Texas. Depending on the drug in question and the penalty group under which it falls, felony convictions can result in large fines and minimum terms of imprisonment.
Drug trafficking is a serious felony drug crime that involves the possession, delivery or transportation of a controlled substance. If the offense occurs over state lines, alleged offenders may also be prosecuted in a federal court. Depending on the situation and the drug in question, offenders may face serious criminal penalties, including lengthy prison sentences.
America has become a nation that produces and consumes a majority of the world’s prescription medication. Inevitably, government agencies attempt to keep the medical community free from crime by enforcing prescription fraud and forgery laws and aggressively prosecuting alleged offenders.
The type of drug involved in a drug crime will always have a bearing on the way a case will be prosecuted and penalized.
Of the various schedules of controlled substances, some of the most common types of drugs in criminal offenses include:

When facing drug charges, it is critical to understand the difference between possession and trafficking under Texas law. Drug possession generally involves smaller amounts intended for personal use, while trafficking charges imply the manufacture, delivery, or distribution of controlled substances. Trafficking is treated much more harshly than simple possession and can result in significantly higher penalties, including lengthy prison sentences and large fines.
At the Law Offices of Robert S. Gregg, we carefully review every aspect of your case to determine whether the charges brought against you accurately reflect the evidence. In many cases, the prosecution may overcharge a defendant, alleging trafficking when the facts suggest mere possession. By challenging improper charges early, our team can work to reduce the severity of the case against you, negotiate for lesser penalties, or seek a full dismissal when possible. Understanding the distinction between possession and trafficking is crucial when building a strong defense that protects your freedom and future.
A drug conviction affects much more than your immediate circumstances — it can create long-lasting barriers across many areas of life. A criminal record tied to drug offenses can make finding employment extremely difficult, particularly for careers that require background checks. Housing applications, educational opportunities, and even access to certain loans or public benefits can also be affected.
In addition, certain professional licenses — such as those in healthcare, education, or legal fields — may be denied, suspended, or revoked after a drug conviction. A momentary mistake can leave a permanent mark that limits personal and professional growth. At the Law Offices of Robert S. Gregg, we understand the high stakes our clients face. That’s why we focus not only on defending against the immediate charges but also on safeguarding your future opportunities. When you work with our firm, you have a dedicated advocate working to minimize the consequences you face and protect your long-term stability.
In many drug cases, the way evidence is obtained can be just as important as the evidence itself. The Constitution protects individuals from unlawful searches and seizures, and when law enforcement officers violate those rights, any evidence they gather may be thrown out in court.
Our firm aggressively scrutinizes the circumstances surrounding every arrest, search, and seizure. If police conducted a search without a warrant, without probable cause, or in violation of your Fourth Amendment rights, we will fight to have that evidence suppressed. Challenging illegal searches often leads to reduced charges or even case dismissals, especially when key evidence is excluded from the trial.
At the Law Offices of Robert S. Gregg, we take pride in holding law enforcement accountable and protecting our clients’ constitutional rights at every stage of the process. When your freedom is on the line, you deserve a defense team that is committed to examining every detail of your case to find the strongest possible path forward.
Texas categorizes controlled substances into four penalty groups with punishments varying based on drug type, quantity, and intent. First-time possession of small amounts may result in misdemeanor charges with fines and probation, while larger quantities or distribution charges can lead to felonies carrying years or decades in prison. The Law Offices of Robert Gregg provides aggressive defense regardless of charge severity to minimize these consequences.
While police generally need a warrant to conduct searches, several exceptions exist including consent, plain view, incident to arrest, and when officers have probable cause. An experienced attorney can challenge illegal searches and potentially have evidence suppressed if your Fourth Amendment rights were violated. Our firm carefully examines all aspects of your case, including how evidence was obtained, to build the strongest possible defense.
Effective defense strategies include challenging the legality of searches and seizures, questioning the chain of custody of evidence, and disputing actual possession or knowledge of the drugs. We may also negotiate for reduced charges, pursue alternative sentencing options like drug court or treatment programs, or fight for case dismissal when appropriate. Attorney Robert Gregg leverages his extensive experience and knowledge of the Dallas County court system to identify the most effective approach for your specific situation.
A drug conviction can significantly impact employment prospects, housing applications, professional licensing, and educational opportunities. For eligible clients, options may include deferred adjudication, probation that avoids a final conviction, or eventual record expunction or non-disclosure. The Law Offices of Robert Gregg works diligently to minimize these long-term consequences and protect your future beyond just addressing immediate legal penalties.
