Facing a drug possession charge in Texas can feel overwhelming. However, a charge is not the same as a conviction. The outcome of your case depends on the strength of the evidence presented and how your legal representation fights the accusations. Ryan R. Hill, Attorney at Law, located in Longview, Texas, is here to ensure that every detail of your case is examined carefully and effectively to ensure the best possible outcome.
How Can You Fight a Drug Possession Charge in Longview, Texas?
Evaluating Law Enforcement Procedures
In cases of drug possession, how the search and seizure were conducted matters. Texas law requires law enforcement officers to follow specific procedures when conducting a stop, search, or arrest. If an officer did not have probable cause or failed to obtain the proper warrant, the evidence found may be excluded.
With 25 years of experience in the field of criminal law, our experienced attorney will look closely at whether your rights under the Texas Constitution were respected. If law enforcement violated these rights, we may move to suppress the evidence entirely.
Verifying Legal Possession or Prescription
In some drug possession cases, the alleged substance is legal to possess under certain conditions. For example, many controlled medications are legal if prescribed by a licensed provider. If you were arrested for possessing a controlled prescription drug, one important line of defense is documentation.
In these cases, your lawyer will help you gather all relevant medical records, pharmacy logs, or testimony from healthcare providers to establish that you were lawfully prescribed the medication. This evidence can be persuasive in showing that the arrest was a misunderstanding or based on incomplete information.
Analyzing Digital and Location-Based Evidence
Technology can also support a defense against a drug possession charge. Cell phone data, GPS records, and digital communications may help establish that you were not where the prosecution claims you were, or that your involvement in the incident was limited or misinterpreted.
For example, if you’re accused of possessing drugs found in a car, and our lawyer can show through location data that you were not the regular driver or had limited access to the vehicle, that information may support a defense. We will carefully examine all available digital records that could impact the accuracy of allegations against you.
