What Is Drug Trafficking?

Drug trafficking is the criminal offense of selling, transporting, or importing illegal drugs. In order to be charged with drug trafficking, the prosecution must show that you knowingly possessed the drugs in question and that you had the intention to distribute them.

What Are the Penalties for Drug Trafficking?

Drug trafficking is a serious crime that can be charged as either a felony or a misdemeanor. The specific charges and penalties you face will depend on the type and quantity of drugs involved, as well as your criminal record.

Common penalties for drug trafficking include:

  • Extensive jail or prison time
  • Fines ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars
  • Loss of professional licenses
  • Loss of educational opportunities
  • Loss of child custody or visitation
  • Probation
  • Mandatory drug testing

In addition to these penalties, a drug trafficking conviction can have long-term consequences. Having a drug conviction on your record can make it difficult to find work, secure housing, or obtain a loan. If you are an immigrant, a conviction can lead to deportation.

Defenses to Drug Trafficking

Being charged with drug trafficking does not mean that you will be convicted. There are many defenses that can be used to fight the charges against you. When you turn to our San Antonio drug trafficking defense lawyer, we will thoroughly review your case and develop a defense strategy tailored to your unique situation.

  • Mistaken identity

Have Questions?

We Have Answers!
  • “How do I find a recently arrested person in San Antonio?”

    Finding out where someone went after they were arrested can be difficult, and you may have to access websites online or make several phone calls. However, it can be a good start to visit the Magistrate’s Office Search Website to find information or call the Magistrate’s Office at 210-335-6111. If you have the inmate’s SID or System Identification Number you may call Central Filing (Misdemeanor Records) at 210-335-2238 or contact Felony Records’ District Clerk at 210-335-2591.

  • “Can I represent myself in a San Antonio criminal case trial?”

    San Antonio law allows you to represent yourself before the court under certain criteria. However, we highly advise against it. Do not risk your future! You need a criminal defense attorney who can protect your legal rights and has the necessary experience in providing an exceptional defense strategy on your behalf. Call our criminal defense firm to represent you for any criminal charges you may be facing.

  • “What is a bench warrant?”

    When a person fails to appear in court on a specific date after receiving a notice or order to appear, a bench warrant is usually issued. The person is subject to arrest once the warrant is issued.

    If you choose to represent yourself, the court would expect you to file the correct legal paperwork and follow the complicated court procedures in your criminal case. The judge could impose harsh consequences, such as barring you from filing an important motion, if you violate the rules.
