Experienced Defense Against Marijuana Charges In Bexar County

A marijuana crime in Texas involves intentionally possessing, distributing or making the substance. While some states have relaxed their rules, local police remain strict regarding both simple possession and intent to sell. Our attorneys defend clients against charges involving various forms of the drug:

• Marijuana flower: Texas penalizes traditional plant material based on total weight.
• THC concentrates: Texas prosecutes oils, waxes and dabs as felonies regardless of the amount.
• Vape cartridges: Electronic delivery systems carrying cannabis extracts trigger severe felony charges.
• Edibles and gummies: Police weigh the entire product instead of just the active ingredient to raise the charge level.

These strict rules require a strong legal defense to reduce the risk of life-altering penalties.

On July 31, 2026, new state rules took effect in Texas. They ban many hemp products and expand the list of crimes.

What Are The Penalties For Marijuana Possession In Texas?

The consequences of a conviction depend on the amount and type of substance involved. State law categorizes the possession of two ounces or less of marijuana flower as a Class B misdemeanor. Individuals convicted of this offense face a maximum penalty of 180 days in county jail and a fine of up to $2,000.

However, possessing any amount of THC concentrates or edibles raises the charge to at least a state jail felony. The July 2026 hemp product ban increases this risk, as once legal items now carry severe criminal penalties.
