Laws Regarding the Manufacture of Drugs in Texas

If you manufacture or develop drugs in any amount, you run the risk of being charged with drug manufacturing, especially in the conservative counties such as Collin & Denton. This is true regardless of the scale of your operation. In the state of Texas, it is against the law to manufacture illicit narcotics such as meth or ecstasy, and even marijuana for sale or distribution. It is also against the law to be in possession of any equipment or materials that may be used in the production of illicit substances, such as chemical agents or solvents or other paraphernalia related to the use of those drugs.

Felony charges are often brought against those who manufacture drugs. The seriousness of the penalties will be influenced in some way by the size of the manufacturing business. Both the proximity of a manufacturing facility to a school and the discovery of weapons during the search might result in an increase in the severity of the punishment. During the sentencing process, the past criminal record of the individual will also be taken into consideration.

A guilty conviction in a case involving manufacturing can result in the following:

• Seizure of both business and personal property
• Imprisonment
• Fines
• Helping out the community
• The suspension of the driver’s license

These types of consequences only impact your criminal history and personal freedom and they fail to take into account the detrimental consequences that impact your family such as a child custody suit, a modification suit, or even a divorce.  There is simply too much at stake to chance the type of representation you have to defend your rights.
