Protecting You Against Harris County Possession of Marijuana Charges
Although most people consider marijuana to be less harmful than drugs such as methamphetamines and cocaine, the state of Texas takes crimes involving marijuana seriously and the penalties, if convicted, are severe.
Even the possession of a small amount of marijuana can impact your ability to get a job, can cause your driver's license to be suspended, and prohibit you from receiving federal financial aid for school. Marijuana charges may seem minor; however, without proper guidance and representation from an experienced criminal defense lawyer, you could be facing severe consequences.
