Drug Trafficking Charges in Bryan-College Station

The criminal act of drug trafficking is most commonly considered a federal crime as it typically crosses state borders. Trafficking (distributing or delivering illicit drugs) is also a violation of the Texas Controlled Substances Act. A person may be found guilty of drug trafficking if he or she is proven to have knowingly delivered marijuana or any other illicit or controlled substance in any of the four groups of drugs defined and listed in the Texas Controlled Substances Act. (Marijuana is classified separately under this law.)
