If you are facing a Tyler drug distribution charge, then Tonda Curry & Associates can provide you with skilled criminal defense. Serving clients throughout East Texas, our law firm represents clients accused of trafficking and manufacturing controlled substances, such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamines. Being convicted of drug dealing is a serious matter that can result in years in prison and a felony on your record. With your future in balance, you should not take your decision about choosing a defense attorney lightly. With nearly 20 years of experience, including years as federal prosecutor, Tonda Curry will protect your rights and aggressively defend you before prosecutors or in court.

In Tyler, drug manufacturing and drug trafficking are treated together by the Texas Controlled Substance Act, except in the case of marijuana, which is treated separately. Just like with drug possession charges, sentences for trafficking and manufacturing a controlled substance depend on the drug’s classification and the amount.

There are several other factors that could increase penalties for :

¨      If the drug was manufactured in the presence of a minor (less than 18 years)

¨      If the drug was distributed or sold near a school

¨      If the defendant has prior criminal convictions

For example, if you have been charged with manufacture or delivery of cocaine, a group 1 drug, you probably face one of the following sentences:

¨      More than 400 grams of cocaine: life or for a term of not more than 99 years or less than 15 years, and a fine not to exceed 0,000

¨      More than 200 grams but less than 400 grams: life or for a term of not more than 99 years or less than 10 years, and a fine not to exceed 0,000

¨      Four grams or more but less than 200 grams: felony of the first degree

¨      One gram or more but less than four grams: felony in the second degree

¨      Less than one gram: state jail felony

In all likelihood his death is the consequence of the acts of violence he suffered during the arrest, these acts were committed by the people who should have taken care of and healed him: Government, police, doctors.
