Have You Been Charged with Cocaine Possession in Brazos County?

There are many criminal offenses involving cocaine such as possession, sale, distribution, and trafficking. Considering how dangerous cocaine can be, the penalties involved in a cocaine-related conviction can be steep, even for cases involving simple possession. In Texas, the penalties for the possession and sale of cocaine are dependent on the amount of drugs at issue. Penalties generally include some amount of jail time, as well as monetary fines. For example, the possession of even a small amount of cocaine (less than 1 gram) is charged as a felony, and offenders may be sentenced to as many as two years in state prison. The possession of more than 200 grams of cocaine can land you in prison for up to 99 years. Note that some counties in Texas offer diversion programs for first-time cocaine offenders in exchange for having charges dropped.
