Texas Drug Possession Attorney
When does a drug possession charge turn into possession with intent to distribute or sell a dangerous narcotic, like cocaine? Typically, when making an arrest, police will charge you with possession of a controlled substance. It will then be up to the prosecuting attorney to decide whether the amount of drugs in possession and the mode of transport will constitute adding the felony charge of intent to the original offense.
