Is Drug Possession a Felony in Texas?

Yes, drug possession is a felony charge in Texas. However, while many drug possession cases are prosecuted as a felony, different cases could be considered a misdemeanor up to a first-degree felony. The severity of drug possession, or drug penalty groups under Texas law, depends on the nature of the controlled substance.

Drug Possession Charges in Texas

Texas law organizes illegal drugs into four classes with each class carrying its own set of penalties. It is important to note that in Texas, marijuana is its own class.

The penalties you may face will depend on various factors, such as:

  • The type of drug you are found possessing
  • The amount of the drug you have in your possession
  • How you stored or concealed the drug
  • Whether you possessed additional drug paraphernalia
  • Whether you have any past convictions

Even a misdemeanor marijuana possession conviction can have life-changing consequences, so it is best to retain a trusted Fort Worth drug crime lawyer if you are facing allegations or formal charges.
