Dallas DWI and Drug Possession Lawyer

Fort Worth Marijuana Possession Attorney

If you are found with drugs in your car or on your person when you are pulled over for a sobriety check, you will find yourself facing twice the trouble. Even if the drugs are legal prescription drugs, if you were driving erratically the police will assume that you ingested the drug and that it contributed to your apparent intoxication.

If the drugs in your possession are illegal drugs, you will face two separate criminal charges — drunk driving and possession of a controlled substance. If, for example, you are pulled over for DWI and you are found to have less than a gram of cocaine on your person, you will be facing a felony charge.

Developing an Effective Defense Strategy

Under Texas law, any substance that can impair your ability to drive can result in a charge of driving while intoxicated (DWI). It doesn't matter whether that substance is marijuana or Ambien.

If you recently started taking this medication and you were not aware of its sedative effects or that this medicine, when combined with alcohol, leads to drowsiness, we may be able to introduce this medical issue in your defense… more likely, however, we will try to get some evidence excluded.

If you are facing two different criminal charges, the district attorney will usually try to leverage one case against the other. We may have to plead out the misdemeanor case in order to make a better deal on a felony chase. Our ability to get some evidence ruled inadmissible because it was illegally obtained can be crucial to our ability to get the DA to offer a plea agreement.
