Marijuana Drug Charge in Texas

If this is your first offense possessing less than 2 ounces of marijuana, the chances are higher of being able to work out a deal. Perhaps if your defense attorney is able to arrange for you to go to a drug treatment program, the case might even be dismissed. Diversion and drug rehab programs are meant to help first-time marijuana offenders in Texas avoid harsher sentences. 

Some counties in Texas also have drug courts. The court will intervene with intensive monitoring of drug use and mandate other programs in exchange for diminishing the marijuana possession charge. For those who feel like they might have a marijuana addiction, agreeing to a drug treatment program can be a great option as part of their plea agreement.
