The “War on Drugs” is very much alive in the United States. As a result, felony and state drug charges are very serious. Just because a police officer charges you with drug possession, does not mean they have a case. Texas Penal Code 1.07 (39) defines possession as meaning “actual care, custody and control or management.” Also, the common issues that occur in these cases involve:
- The legality of the initial stop.
- The legality of the search.
- The voluntariness of any confession.
- Credibility issues in dog sniffs.
- Facts as to knowledge and knowing possession.
When you face a possession charge it can be scary, intimidating, and exhausting. So, throughout the process of your possession case, you will want a caring, knowledgeable, and hard-working team on your side. The Coffey Firm is committed to helping you through this process.
