There are four professionals that everyone needs to ensure are readily available in our lives at all times.

• The family doctor - Your health is one of the most important things to have, and having a doctor you trust can make a big difference in that regard. It matters to know that there is an educated professional with whom you can trust your and your family’s health, regardless of whether the problem is a cold or a cancer diagnosis.

• Insurance agent - In this day and age, insurance for many different aspects of your life is not only suggested, but absolutely necessary. You may have more than one agent for each type of insurance – health, homeowners’, automobile, medical, life, etc – or you may have one who does it all, but it is imperative that you trust and feel comfortable with that person or those people. Insurance is a complex field, and if you are not careful, you may be taken advantage of if you do not have someone you can trust on call.

• Auto mechanic - Cars break down, unfortunately – often at the time we can least afford it. Finding a good mechanic can have long-term advantages for work and personal life both – after all, the less time you spend in the shop, the more time you can spend with your family or on the job. Mechanics are one of the most notorious professions in terms of unethical behavior and good ones are worth hanging onto when you find them.

• Defense attorney - Attorneys are like mechanics in that one never believes they will need any services until too late. However, when an attorney is called for, usually it is in a situation that involves a quick, appropriate response. Whether it turns out to be you or a loved one who requires the services of a good lawyer, doing one’s due diligence to find a good one before it becomes necessary is very helpful. Even if you have never been involved in any kind of legal situation before, it is hard to know for sure when trouble might rear its head unexpectedly. Be prepared by making sure that you have the name of a criminal defense attorney accessible to you.
  
  

   

   

The possession and distribution of illegal drugs is a common criminal offense in Texas and throughout the United States. The substances for which individuals are arrested for possessing and selling vary from state to state; some drugs are popular throughout the country and others are largely contained to specific states and regions.

In Texas, the following five substances are the most common drugs among individuals arrested for drug possession and those admitted to drug rehabilitation centers.

Marijuana

Marijuana is the most commonly used illegal drug in the United States. Although it has been approved for medical and recreational use in some states, it remains illegal for all purposes in Texas. Individuals convicted of marijuana possession may face fines of $2,000 to $50,000 and jail sentences ranging from 180 days to 99 years, depending on the amount of marijuana they are found to possess. Individuals convicted of selling marijuana and producing marijuana concentrates face steeper penalties, which can include life in prison.

Cocaine

By far, most cocaine-related arrests and rehabilitation admissions are for individuals using crack cocaine, the rock form of the drug that can be smoked. Crack cocaine delivers a short, intense high to users and is considered to be the most addictive form of cocaine. Individuals convicted of the possession or sale of cocaine face significant fines and jail time.

Heroin

Heroin is a powerful opioid synthesized with ingredients from the opium poppy. The bulk of the heroin found in the United States is cultivated in Afghanistan and Mexico. Individuals convicted of the sale and possession of heroin in Texas face consequences including fines and jail time, with offenders convicted of selling to minors facing harsher penalties than those convicted of selling heroin to adults.

Other Opioids

Heroin is not the only opioid found on Texas streets. Prescription drugs such as Vicodin, Percocet, Oxycontin, and morphine are all commonly sold, consumed, and abused by Texans. It is illegal to possess any of these drugs without a valid prescription and to sell them without a pharmacist license. Individuals convicted of the illegal sale and possession of prescription drugs can face significant fines and jail sentences.

Crystal Methamphetamine

Crystal methamphetamine, also known as “ice” or “glass,” is a party drug known for its clear, rock-like substance. It is a synthetic substance that has been used in the United States since the early twentieth century. Individuals convicted of the possession, sale, or manufacturing of crystal methamphetamine face penalties such as jail time and fines. As with other drug charges, the amount of crystal methamphetamine an individual is found to possess is a key part of determining his or her sentence.
