Penalties for Possession of Cocaine in Texas
With cocaine defined as a dangerous drug under Texas drug laws, a convicted defendant can expect harsh penalties to compliment that distinction. By reviewing the table below, you’ll get an idea of the criminal penalties associated with convictions involving cocaine in the State of Texas.
As you can see from the data above, there’s a long range of potential sentencing possibilities for individuals unfortunate enough to be arrested for allegedly having cocaine in their possession and found guilty in the court of law.
Although the State of Texas does prosecute cocaine possession cases to the same degree as the Federal Government, it is not uncommon for the U.S. Attorney’s Office to get involved with the case if it’s deemed to have national implications. In other words, depending on the circumstances of the arrest and/or official investigation, a federal indictment could be just over the horizon. However, it is not uncommon for the State of Texas to handle cases involving multiple kilos of cocaine itself, absent the Federal Government.
