Drug Manufacturing crimes include everything from marijuana cultivation to methamphetamine labs and other means by which to manufacture or produce illegal drugs. Growing marijuana, compounding drugs, or making any combination of drugs illegally to sell or distribute are all considered manufacturing drugs under Texas law.

Informants & Law Enforcement Investigations

The primary method law enforcement employs to investigate drug manufacturing is by using informants to provide law enforcement with sufficient information to obtain a search and/or arrest warrant and raid residences or buildings suspected of being involved in drug manufacturing. As such, many citizens that are merely visiting someone or are at the wrong place at the wrong time are caught in the crossfire and subsequently charged with drug manufacturing or conspiracy to manufacture drugs. 

Wrongly Accused of a Drug Crime

Common scenarios in which citizens have been wrongly accused of manufacturing drugs or conspiracy to manufacture drugs include: living in a home with a friend or relative or someone else manufacturing drugs, renting out a room to someone who is manufacturing drugs, or temporarily residing or visiting someone who is manufacturing drugs.

Punishment for Drug Charges

Drug Manufacturing is a serious felony crime that, depending upon the charge and the circumstances of your case, carries with it the prospect of 6 months in a state jail facility to 99 years in prison and thousands of dollars in fines. Additionally, a conviction for a drug crime in Texas usually carries with it a driver’s license suspension and a requirement to complete mandatory drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
