Defending Against Drug Cultivation Charges in Texas

Drug cultivation charges are related to allegations that you were involved in the cultivation of plants in order to use them as an ingredient or basis of an illegal controlled substance. It is often used to refer to the growing of marijuana plants, which is a felony unless the individual has legal authorization to grow marijuana. If an individual is charged with drug cultivation, there are serious penalties including prison time, fines, and property forfeiture in large scale operations. In some cases, even if an individual is unaware of the drug cultivation that was taking place on his or her property, charges are filed against the owner of the property.

There are many successful defenses that may be applicable in your case. It could be possible to demonstrate that you were not aware of the drug cultivation activity the property and therefore cannot be held responsible, or that you were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time and not involved. It is not uncommon for law enforcement to violate the constitutional rights of an individual during an arrest in gathering evidence. If so, I could take action to ensure that illegally obtained evidence is suppressed, and get the charges against you dismissed. It is also possible in some circumstances to show that the individual possessed the drugs but was not engaged in cultivation for any reason other than strictly personal use. This will reduce the charge to drug possession, which carries far lower penalties.
