What is Possession of a Controlled Substance?

Under the Texas Controlled Substances Act, it’s illegal to knowingly or intentionally possess any substance listed in Penalty Groups 1 through 4, including (but not limited to):

Cocaine
Ecstasy and other party drugs
Heroin
Methamphetamine
Prescription drugs without a valid prescription; for example:
- Xanax
- Adderall
- Oxycodone

The severity of a POCS charge depends on the type and amount of drug involved. However, it’s important to note that even a small amount can result in felony charges, so early legal representation is crucial.

How Do You “Beat” a Possession Charge in Texas?

With years of experience defending clients in Travis County and throughout Central Texas, I’ve successfully handled countless POCS cases ranging from misdemeanor to felony drug charges. In general, my defense strategy may include:

Challenging the legality of the search and seizure
Identifying constitutional rights violations
Questioning lab results or chain of custody
Negotiating for reduced charges or diversion programs
Pursuing case dismissal when evidence is insufficient

However, every case is unique. Therefore, I consider it my duty as a POCS lawyer to provide a personalized strategy for every client, based on the unique facts of their situation. If you’ve been charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance, I’ll take the time to understand your circumstances, explain your options clearly, and tailor a strategy that gives you the best possible outcome.
