Why Immediate Action Matters in Bexar County Drug Cases
Drug arrests in Bexar County often stem from questionable traffic stops, shaky probable cause, and overreliance on flawed lab testing—especially in THC cases. Many cases can be dismissed or significantly reduced when challenged early.
From the start, we will:
-
Review and challenge the legality of the stop or detention
-
Attack illegal searches of vehicles, homes, or personal property
-
Dispute drug testing procedures and lab reliability
-
Push for early dismissal based on evidentiary weaknesses
-
Seek diversion or first-offender options when available
-
Protect long-term record-sealing and expunction options
Most drug cases are won with aggressive early intervention—not by waiting.
Drug Charges We Handle in Bexar County
Possession of a Controlled Substance (PCS) – Strong Focus on THC Cases
PCS charges are among the most common drug offenses in San Antonio, and THC-related arrests now make up a huge percentage of cases we see. Officers routinely charge felony PCS for:
-
THC vape pens
-
THC oil cartridges
-
Wax, shatter, hash, or concentrates
-
Edibles or infused foods
-
Delta-8 and Delta-9 products
-
THC tinctures or oils
Why THC cases are so serious:
Texas classifies nearly all THC products as Penalty Group 2, which means:
-
Even a small THC vape pen can be a felony
-
Edibles are weighed based on total mass (including food), inflating charges
-
Lab testing inconsistencies often undermine the entire case
THC cases provide some of the strongest opportunities for suppression and dismissal when handled correctly.
Possession of Marijuana
Although attitudes about marijuana are changing nationwide, Bexar County still charges even minor amounts. These cases can affect employment, licensing, and future background checks.
We frequently secure:
-
Dismissals
-
Diversion agreements
-
Reductions to lesser offenses
-
Expunction eligibility after completion
Our goal is always to keep your record clean.
Drug Paraphernalia
Often issued as a catch-all or “backup” charge, paraphernalia cases can usually be resolved without long-term consequences. We work to keep these off your record entirely.
Manufacturing or Delivery of a Controlled Substance
Texas takes allegations of manufacturing or delivery seriously, particularly when THC products or prescription medications are involved. We challenge:
-
Confidential informants
-
Search warrants
-
Surveillance tactics
-
Lab weight calculations
-
Chain-of-custody problems
These cases are often defensible with the right strategy and motion practice.
Prescription Drug Offenses
Unauthorized possession or misuse of prescription medications—including Adderall, Xanax, hydrocodone, oxycodone, or other painkillers—can result in felony charges. We examine every detail to challenge the State's ability to prove knowing or intentional possession.
How We Fight Drug Charges in San Antonio
Drug cases often fall apart when the defense aggressively challenges the details. We examine:
Illegal Stops & Detentions
Traffic stops must be legally justified. If they're not, everything found after can be thrown out.
Unlawful Searches
We challenge:
-
Vehicle searches without valid consent
-
Extended roadside detentions
-
Improper use of drug dogs
-
Warrantless home searches
Lab Weaknesses & THC Weight Issues
THC cases are particularly vulnerable to lab and measurement errors:
-
Edibles are weighed improperly
-
Labs fail to test for specific compounds
-
Contamination and chain-of-custody issues are common
These weaknesses often create opportunities for dismissal.
First-Time Drug Offenses in Bexar County
If this is your first arrest, the priority is simple:
Protect your future and keep your record clean.
We pursue:
-
Diversion programs
-
Conditional dismissals
-
Treatment or counseling alternatives
-
Record sealing
-
Expunction when eligible
Do not plead guilty until you speak with us.

-
