Yes, Brazos County prosecutes possession of "delta 8" THC and you may be arrested for buying something you thought was completely legal in a local store! Local news media reported this week that many have been surprised, since many local stores sell it. This firm fights for clients charged with Delta 8 possession. In one case, a client was arrested for a First Degree Felony for possessing over 400 grams of THC because he had packaged samples branded as "delta 8" products he was delivering to local stores. We were able to get a favorable resolution of his case, but not before he ended up serving time in jail. https://www.kbtx.com/2021/10/05/delta-8-thc-product-raising-questions-about-legality-local-prosecutions/

Be careful - many of these products are unregulated and you may not know if it contains more than 0.3% THC h**p. Brazos County will arrest first and test later. You may have to spend at least some time in jail before you are vindicated. Call me if you have any question - I am here to help fight these cases. https://www.flaniganlawfirm.com/ma*****na-thc-defense

Texas imposes new "super fines" upon a conviction of DWI:

Be aware that if you are convicted of DWI and sentenced to jail for even a short time, the State of Texas imposes a mandatory fine in addition to the statutory (and negotiable) fines (up to $2,000 for a first DWI or up to $4,000 for a 2nd DWI or if the BAC is 0.15 or more). These fines are set by the State and a prosecutor or judge cannot negotiate or lower them. They are:

$3,000: 1st DWI
$4,500: 2nd DWI if committed within 36 months of the first DWI
$6,000: if the BAC is 0.15 or more, whether it is a first or subsequent DWI

Judges are allowed to eliminate them only if you can prove you are "indigent" - documentation from tax returns that show you are at the "poverty" level or that you receive financial assistance from the government.

Call today to fight your DWI charge and avoid these astronomically high fines! Click here for more information: https://www.flaniganlawfirm.com/dwi-dui-defense

Brazos County has suspended jury trials for the month of February for Covid-19 concerns. High county infection rates endanger citizens attending jury duty and cause problems getting a fair trial for clients when many potential jurors and witnesses may not be able to attend. Brazos County courts, however, are still conducting all other types of hearings and trials. Be careful and stay healthy!
