Texas has some of the strictest drug laws in the country, and a drug-related arrest can have serious, life-altering consequences. Whether you are facing charges for possession, trafficking, manufacturing, or prescription drug offenses, prosecutors will aggressively pursue a conviction. A conviction can lead to jail time, fines, a permanent criminal record, and significant personal and professional consequences.
At Peek Law Group, our Board Certified criminal defense lawyers understand that not every drug charge is justified. We fight to protect our clients’ rights at every stage of the legal process. Many drug arrests result from unlawful searches, entrapment, or weak evidence, and we use our extensive experience to challenge the prosecution’s case.
If you or a loved one has been arrested on drug-related charges in San Antonio, Bexar County, or anywhere in Texas, you need an experienced criminal defense lawyer immediately. Call Peek Law Group at (512) 399-2311 or complete our online form to schedule a confidential consultation today.
Texas law classifies drug crimes based on the type of controlled substance, the amount in possession, and whether intent to distribute is suspected. Charges can range from misdemeanors to serious felonies, each carrying significant legal consequences.
Common drug charges our skilled criminal defense attorneys in San Antonio defend against include:
Possession of illegal drugs for personal use is one of the most common drug-related charges in Texas. However, even small amounts can result in criminal charges, depending on the substance. Law enforcement must prove that the drugs were knowingly in your possession, but many arrests involve unlawful searches or weak evidence that can be challenged.
If law enforcement believes you intend to sell or distribute drugs, you may face enhanced charges. Factors such as large quantities, packaging materials, large amounts of cash, or weapons can lead to more serious allegations. These cases often rely on circumstantial evidence, which an experienced defense attorney can challenge.
Selling, transporting, or distributing controlled substances is a felony offense in Texas. In some cases, charges are wrongfully elevated from simple possession to trafficking based on the quantity of drugs found. Federal charges may apply in cases involving large-scale operations or interstate distribution.
The production, cultivation, or manufacturing of illegal substances, such as methamphetamine, ecstasy, or cannabis concentrates, can result in severe felony charges. Even owning equipment associated with drug manufacturing can be used as evidence against you. These cases require a thorough defense strategy to challenge the prosecution’s claims.
Criminal charges involving prescription medications are increasingly standard in Texas.
These cases often involve:
Law enforcement aggressively prosecutes opioid-related cases, but many arrests involve legitimate medical patients who have been wrongfully charged. If you are facing prescription drug-related charges, we can help protect your rights.
If you have been charged with any drug-related offense, our San Antonio drug crime defense attorneys are prepared to investigate every detail of your case and fight for the best possible outcome. Call Peek Law Group at (512) 399-2311 today to discuss your case.
Every drug crime case is unique, but many arrests involve violations of constitutional rights, weak evidence, or procedural errors. At Peek Law Group, we use proven legal strategies to fight drug charges and challenge the prosecution’s case.
Although every case and its circumstances are unique, common defense strategies for drug crimes in Texas include:
Many drug arrests result from unlawful traffic stops, home searches, or warrant less seizures. If police violate your Fourth Amendment rights, we can file motions to suppress illegally obtained evidence, which can lead to the dismissal of the charges.
Prosecutors must prove that you knowingly possessed the drugs. If the drugs were found in a shared space, a borrowed vehicle, or a home you do not control, we can argue that you were wrongfully charged.
If law enforcement coerced or pressured you into committing a drug-related offense that you otherwise would not have committed, entrapment may be a viable defense. This is often seen in undercover sting operations.
If law enforcement failed to read your Miranda rights, used coercive interrogation tactics, or violated due process, we may be able to challenge statements made to police and have evidence excluded.
Drug charges often rely on laboratory testing, witness statements, and police reports.

If you have been charged with a first-time drug offense in Texas, you may be wondering whether jail time is inevitable. While Texas has some of the strictest drug laws in the country, not all first-time offenders end up behind bars.
The penalties for a drug offense depend on several factors, including:
Judges may be more likely to consider probation or diversion programs instead of jail time if this is your first offense. You will likely face a harsher sentence if you have prior arrests or convictions.
Penalties may be enhanced if you were arrested near a school, park, or public place. If weapons or large amounts of cash were found, prosecutors may push for a more severe sentence.
In some cases, first-time drug offenders may be eligible for alternative sentencing options that allow them to avoid jail time.
Our attorneys work to secure the best possible outcome, including:
Many counties in Texas offer pretrial diversion programs that allow first-time offenders to complete rehabilitation, education, or community service instead of jail time. If completed successfully, charges may be dismissed and the offense removed from your record.
A probation-based alternative where you plead guilty, but the judge defers the conviction. If probation is completed successfully, the charges may not appear as a conviction on your record.
Many first-time drug offenders are eligible for probation instead of jail time. Probation conditions may include drug testing, counseling, or community service.
In some cases, prosecutors may agree to reduce charges from a felony to a misdemeanor in exchange for rehabilitation or probation.
A first-time drug offense does not have to ruin your life. At Peek Law Group, we fight for dismissals, probation alternatives, and reduced charges to keep you out of jail. Call (512) 399-2311 or complete our online contact form to schedule a confidential consultation with a San Antonio drug crimes attorney today. The proper defense can make all the difference.
If you have been arrested on a drug charge in Texas, your actions immediately following the arrest can significantly impact your case.
The most important steps to take after a drug crime arrest in Texas include:
Do not answer police questions or discuss your case without a lawyer present. Anything you say can and will be used against you in court.
If law enforcement asks to search your vehicle, home, or belongings, you have the right to refuse without a warrant. We can challenge the evidence in court if a search was conducted illegally.
If possible, document what happened before and during the arrest. Identify any witnesses who can support your case.
If you have been charged with a drug crime in Texas, you need an aggressive defense to protect your future. The sooner you hire an attorney, the better your chances of fighting the charges. Our legal team will immediately investigate your case and begin crafting a defense strategy.
