In Fort Bend, and throughout the state of Texas, law enforcement officials and prosecuting attorneys are extremely aggressive when it comes to prosecuting drug charges such as the possession of a controlled substance. Any drug or chemical substance that has its possession and use controlled by state or federal law, is considered to be a controlled substance. Drugs are classified as controlled substances under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) in an effort to curb addiction, abuse, physical or mental harm, illegal manufacturing and trafficking, and dangers which can result when individuals are under the influence of such substances.
Although many do not consider the possession of a controlled substance to be a major offense, it is far from a minor offense. The type and volume of the narcotics, or controlled substances, in your possession at the time of your arrest will largely determine the penalties you will face should you be convicted. Another factor which will influence the penalties you face, is whether your case will be tried in state or federal court. The possession of a few pills from someone else's prescription medication may yield a probation, while the possession of multiple bottles of Oxycontin, Xanax, Vicodin, or any other controlled substance, could result in hefty fines and a lengthy prison sentence. Either way, a Fort Bend County arrest for possession of a controlled substance requires immediate defense actions. You owe it to yourself to contact my firm and ask for John L. Venza, Jr.
