Charged With a Drug Crime in Texas?
Serious Charges Require a Serious Defense
Texas enforces some of the harshest drug laws in the country. Whether you’re facing a possession charge or a federal trafficking investigation, the consequences can be life-altering. At Christian & Nisbet, we defend individuals up against the full weight of the law—strategically, aggressively, and without compromise.
We Defend Against All Drug-Related Charges
Our attorneys handle a wide range of drug cases at both the state and federal levels, including:
Drug possession (misdemeanor and felony)
Possession with intent to distribute
Manufacturing or cultivation
Drug trafficking or conspiracy
Prescription drug charges
Federal controlled substance violations
We defend cases involving all drug classifications, including marijuana, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamines, fentanyl, ecstasy, and prescription medications like Xanax, Adderall, or Oxycodone.
OUR APPROACH
Strategic and Thorough
At Christian & Nisbet, every drug case is met with a tailored defense strategy. We challenge the stop. We question the search. We examine every step for constitutional violations, chain of custody issues, and procedural errors. We work to suppress evidence when possible—and always prepare for trial as if it’s inevitable.
From pre-indictment investigations to federal court proceedings, we are ready to step in at any stage and defend your rights without hesitation.
The Consequences Are Real—and Escalate Fast
DWI charges in Texas carry serious penalties, even for a first offense:
Fines up to $2,000 for first offenses (up to $10,000 for felonies)
Jail time ranging from 3 days to 10 years
License suspension from 90 days to 2 years
Installation of ignition interlock devices
Permanent criminal record
Increased insurance costs and employment barriers
If this is your second or third offense, or if your case involves injury or death, the stakes are significantly higher. Felony charges can lead to extended prison time and long-term loss of rights.
