Facing Charges for Possession of a Controlled Substance or Firearm in Texas?
You’re Not Alone.
Unlawful possession of firearms or controlled substances in Texas hinges on accessibility, not ownership. This means you can be charged even if the item doesn’t belong to you.
What Does “Possession” Really Mean?
- It’s about control: In legal terms, possession means having care, custody, or control over something.
- Visibility and reach matter: If an illegal item is within your reach or clearly visible to you, you could be charged with possessing it.
- Shared responsibility: Even if you don’t own it, if you have access to an illegal item, you can be held responsible.
Know Your Rights
- Identification is required: You must provide identification when requested by a police officer.
- Search consent is optional: You do not have to consent to a police search of your vehicle.
- Assert your rights politely: Always be respectful, but firmly state your rights.
