Texas defense lawyers see many drug distribution cases because of the sheer volume of interstate highway traffic. Unfortunately, it is all-too-easy to move drugs along the interstate highway system in all directions. In particular in the DFW Metroplex area, our police officers have noticed patterns when searching for drug traffickers. It is common for cars to be stopped along northbound interstates and for large amounts of drugs to be discovered. When suspicious vehicles are stopped heading southbound, large amounts of currency are sometimes found. Whether the criminal charge will be sale, distribution, or drug trafficking will depend upon the type and the amount of drugs in question. But the difference you face in penalties is substantial. A first degree felony drug conviction typically results in a minimum five-year prison term, but in large-scale drug manufacturing or drug distribution cases, prison terms can jump to a minimum of 15 years.

If excessively large sums of U.S. currency are found in your vehicle (or a vehicle you are riding in), you may face charges of money laundering. Amazingly, the penalties at the federal level for possessing large amounts of money are similarly harsh to those for possessing large amounts of drugs.

You could also find yourself facing conspiracy charges, something federal prosecutors may add on to drug crime cases.

Law enforcement officers doing drug interdiction work have the legal right to seize assets that were used in furtherance of a crime or bought with the proceeds of criminal activity. This means they not only confiscate drugs; they also seize money, cars, boats, other personal property and even real estate. The police or law enforcement agency can then sell the property and keep the proceeds or just keep the property altogether for their own uses. This is particularly common with vehicles.

Asset forfeiture sometimes goes too far, with the police taking property that doesn't belong to anyone charged with the crime, property that in fact belongs to completely innocent family members or third parties. Our defense lawyer handles asset forfeiture cases, helping clients fight to recover seized property. Contact our law office for a free consultation.
