Drug Distribution in Texas
Counsel from a Knowledgeable Irving Criminal Defense Attorney

of an illegal enterprise, who possibly is struggling with an addiction
issue. These considerations, however, are unavailable to those who are
found accused of drug distribution. In the eyes of the law, these individuals
are participants in a larger drug economy and deserving of harsh felony
penalties.

"How serious is my charge?"
In TEX HS. CODE ANN. § 481, drug distribution is defined as the "manufacture
of delivery of a substance." Like other drug statutes, these laws
are complex and depend on many factors, such as the suspect's criminal
history, the quantity of the substance found, and the type of substance
found. Texas classifies illegal substances in different categories called
penalty groups.
Some of the substances included in each penalty group include:
- Group 1: heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, oxycodone
- Group 1A: LSD
- Group 2: PCP, ecstasy, mescaline
- Group 3: Valium, Ritalin, Xanax,
- Group 4: substances containing Motofen, Dionine, and other chemicals
The manufacture of delivery of a substance is always considered either
a first or second-degree felony. To learn more about the specifics of
your charge, what penalties you may be facing, and how J. Roland Jeter,
P.C. can ensure that every viable defense avenue is aggressively pursued,
