Understanding Drug Trafficking Charges

Texas is a focal point in the national conversation about drug smuggling and consumption due to its proximity to the U.S./Mexico border. This reality intensifies the enforcement efforts within the state. Our team at Juan L. Guerra, Jr. & Associates is intimately familiar with the local and federal law enforcement practices in this region, and we leverage this knowledge to shield our clients from unjust prosecution.

Sentencing for drug trafficking can come down in state or federal courts in Texas. The penalties are harsh and will escalate with each subsequent conviction. Our lead attorney, Juan L. Guerra, Jr., understands how drug trafficking charges may negatively affect your life even before the court can convict you. Rumors and social media can topple your reputation in your neighborhood and at work. We carefully prepare to contest the legality of such actions and the use of the evidence obtained from them in court.
