What You Should Do When Charged with Marijuana Possession

Possession, sale, distribution and manufacturing of marijuana—recognized as a Schedule I substance—are controlled by both state and federal law in Texas. While several U.S. States have decriminalized marijuana and others have legalized medical and recreational use of marijuana, possession of marijuana in Texas remains against the law. Criminal penalties differ depending upon the amount of marijuana involved and whether the possession occurred in a drug-free school zone.

  • Marijuana possession up to two ounces may lead to a fine up to $2,000, as many as 180 days in jail, or both.
  • Marijuana possession of between two and four ounces may lead to a fine up to $4,000, as much as one year in jail, or both.
  • Marijuana possession of four ounces to five pounds may lead to a fine of up to $10,000, 180 days to two years in prison, or both.
  • Marijuana possession of five to 50 may lead to a fine of up to $10,000, two to 10 years in prison, or both.
  • Marijuana possession of 50 to 2,000 pounds may lead to a fine of up to $10,000, two to 20 years in prison, or both.
