What Constitutes Drug Paraphernalia in Texas?

Texas law defines drug paraphernalia broadly as any item used or intended for the use of:
  • Manufacturing
  • Processing
  • Preparing
  • Packaging
  • Consuming illegal drugs

This may include, but is not limited to:

  • Pipes, bongs, or rolling papers
  • Scales and baggies
  • Syringes and spoons
  • Modified household items
  • Devices associated with marijuana, cocaine, meth, or other controlled substances
Even everyday items can be classified as drug paraphernalia if law enforcement believes they were used for illegal purposes.

What’s the Penalty for Possession of Drug Paraphernalia in Texas?

Possession of drug paraphernalia is typically charged as a Class C misdemeanor, which carries:

  • Up to a $500 fine
  • No jail time (for first-time possession charges)
  • A permanent criminal record


However, if you’re accused of delivering paraphernalia or possessing with intent to deliver, you could face a Class A misdemeanor or even a state jail felony — especially if minors are involved.

These charges can escalate quickly, making it essential to consult a knowledgeable drug possession defense attorney as soon as possible.

How Do You Get a Drug Paraphernalia Charge Dropped?

I bring more than a decade of legal experience to every case. My approach to defending paraphernalia charges includes:
  • Challenging the legality of the search or seizure
  • Disputing the intent behind possession
  • Arguing lack of knowledge or ownership
  • Negotiating for dismissal, deferred adjudication, or reduced charges
But it’s important to note that every case is unique. Whether you’re facing a first-time offense or dealing with an enhanced charge, I’ll review the facts, build a strong defense, and advocate for the best possible outcome.
