Houston marijuana attorney Billy Skinner is an active proponent of marijuana rights and has compiled the marijuana resources below to help educate anyone charged with marijuana offenses in Houston, Texas.
Penalties for Medical Marijuana in Texas
Public opinion has generally embraced the idea of medical marijuana. Many people believe that doctors should be able to prescribe marijuana in situations where patients suffer from debilitation diseases or health conditions.
Despite public opinion, the laws have not followed suit. Possession of marijuana cases in Houston are heavily prosecuted by the District Attorney. These cases carry strict punishments, including required drug treatment or jail time, depending on the circumstances of the case. Holding a valid prescription from another state does not necessarily lessen the punishment for possession of marijuana in Texas. For these reasons, it is important that you contact an experienced local medical marijuana attorney.

Medical Marijuana Defense in Houston
Billy Skinner is a knowledgeable and experienced Houston attorney who has represented clients in a variety of drug cases. He is familiar with Texas drug possession laws and will work hard to prepare the best defense in your case. A critical factor in Houston drug cases is whether the drugs were legally obtained by the authorities. If police or other investigators did an illegal search, then drugs and other evidence that they found is not admissible in court. In these situations, a defense attorney can file a motion to suppress, which asks the judge to exclude the evidence in a case, based on the illegal actions of the authorities.
Only an experienced local attorney can properly advise you about your rights in these situations. Even if there is not a basis for a motion to suppress in your case, Houston medical marijuana lawyer Billy Skinner will work hard to prevent the DA from filing charges, convince the DA to file reduced charges, and he will work hard to defend you if charges are filed.
