Possession Of THC Oil Charges

How We Approach Your Defense

Being arrested for a THC oil offense can make you feel like everything is already decided. In reality, a charge is not the same as a conviction. Our job is to carefully examine what the state can actually prove and to push back at every step where the law allows it.

We start by reviewing how the police encountered you and how they claim to have found the THC product. That includes looking closely at the traffic stop, detention, search of your vehicle, home, or person, and any consent they say you gave. If officers violated your constitutional rights, we can raise those issues and challenge the use of that evidence in court. We also study the reports, video, and lab results to see whether the substance was properly tested and whether the state can prove it meets the legal definition they rely on.

Possession itself is often more complicated than it first appears. The law requires more than just being near a substance. There must typically be proof that you knew the THC oil was there and that you exercised some control over it. We examine whether others had access to the area, whether the product was clearly connected to you, and whether there are alternative explanations that create reasonable doubt. Our prosecution background helps us see how the state might try to tie you to the substance and how to counter those arguments.

We also look at the bigger picture. That includes your criminal history, if any, your personal circumstances, and the goals that matter most to you, such as avoiding a felony record, staying employed, or remaining in school in Lubbock. With that context, we talk through possible paths. These may include challenging the case through pretrial motions, negotiating for reduced charges, exploring diversion or treatment based options where available, or preparing for trial when that is the best choice.

Our firm has developed a strong track record in criminal defense, and we note a success rate of about 90 percent across our cases. Our recognition in publications like Texas Super Lawyers and Texas Rising Stars reflects the consistent effort we put into every file, including drug matters. While no lawyer can promise a particular outcome, we work to use that experience and reputation to your advantage at the negotiating table and in the courtroom.

Throughout the process, we prioritize clear and timely communication. You can expect regular updates about filings, hearing dates in the Lubbock County courthouse, and offers from the prosecution. We answer questions as they come up and help you avoid common mistakes, such as missing court, violating bond conditions, or talking about the case in ways that could harm your defense.
