Marijuana & Controlled Substance Defense
Helping You Navigate Family Law with Confidence
A drug possession charge can have lasting consequences that extend far beyond fines or jail time. A conviction may affect your employment opportunities, professional licenses, education, housing, immigration status, and future criminal record. If you have been charged with possession of marijuana or a controlled substance in Texas, obtaining experienced legal representation as early as possible is essential.
At CHS Law Group, we represent individuals facing drug-related charges throughout South Texas. We carefully examine every aspect of the case, including the legality of the stop, search, seizure, arrest, and the handling of evidence, to determine whether your constitutional rights were violated.
Marijuana Possession
Although marijuana laws continue to evolve across the country, possession of marijuana remains a criminal offense under Texas law. Penalties generally depend on the amount allegedly possessed and the specific circumstances of the arrest.
We defend clients charged with:

You may qualify for an expunction in situations such as:
Eligibility depends on the specific facts of your case, including the disposition of the charges and applicable waiting periods.
Orders of Nondisclosure

You may be eligible for an Order of Nondisclosure if you have:
