Drug Possession
In Texas, anyone caught possessing a controlled substance can be subject to criminal charges. Depending on your situation, you could be facing a misdemeanor or felony charge. Factors determining the severity of your criminal charges include the amount and type of drug allegedly found in your possession.
Drug-related crimes are serious and can be difficult to understand. A Dallas drug crime lawyer from the Law Offices of Randall B. Isenberg will form a plan of action for your defense.
A Dallas drug possession lawyer can raise questions regarding your arrest that could affect your case as a whole. For instance, if law enforcement officers pulled you over without probable cause, one of our criminal defense lawyers may argue that your arrest was illegal.
Potential Legal Penalties in Dallas, Texas
When you are accused of a criminal offense in Texas, you could face either a misdemeanor or felony charge. Both levels of charges can have a significant negative effect on your life, and that’s why you need a Dallas criminal defense lawyer on your side.
There are many possible charges you could be facing in Texas. In order of seriousness, ranging from minor to severe, they include:
- Class C misdemeanor

- Third-degree felony
- Second-degree felony
- First-degree felony
- Capital felony
Each of these charges correlates with different consequences. For instance, if you are charged and convicted of a Class C misdemeanor, you could face a fine of $500 with no jail time. If you are charged and convicted of a first-degree felony, you could face life in prison.
A Dallas Criminal Conviction Can Change Your Life
Whether you are facing a misdemeanor or felony, the effects of a criminal conviction can have far-reaching implications on many aspects of your life. Should you suffer a conviction, you could face difficulties when:
- Applying for a loan or other forms of financial assistance
- Seeking employment or education

Having your criminal record accessible on the internet could also impact your relationships and social standing. Depending on your conviction, you may not be able to expunge the offense from your record or conceal the specifics of your offense from public view.

We Follow That With Negotiations
Following discovery, we will be ready to negotiate a potential plea deal. Jury trials come with various risks, so we always explore any deal a prosecutor is willing to offer.
During plea negotiations, we may convince the prosecutors to reduce or drop the charges against you. After meeting with us and listening to our presentation of the case’s facts, prosecutors may realize that the charges against you are inappropriate or not nearly as strong as they believed.
We may convince the prosecutor or a judge to drop your charges. We may instead secure a favorable plea bargain after the prosecutor reduces the charges against you.
We Next Go to Trial
During a trial, both the prosecution and our defense team will present our respective cases. This process may involve introducing physical evidence, witness testimony, and expert testimony.
During our meetings with you before the trial, we will decide whether it is in your best interest to testify. If so, trust that we will prepare you thoroughly before you take the stand.
Even after the trial begins, we may continue to negotiate a plea agreement, which could end the trial immediately.
A Judge or Jury Will Then Deliberate
After both sides present their cases during the trial, the case will go into the deliberation phase. This means that either the judge or the jury will review and consider all the information presented during the trial, eventually rendering a verdict.
If the jury or judge finds you guilty of any charges, you will receive sentencing, usually during a different court hearing. We may appeal a guilty verdict, hoping to receive a different verdict from a higher court. However, we plan to avoid a conviction and secure a favorable legal outcome.
