I only had a very small amount of ma*****na on me and I was still arrested. I thought it was decriminalized in Texas?

Some states have decriminalized possessing small amounts of ma*****na, but unfortunately for you, Texas is not one of them. In fact, Texas takes nearly every kind of drug arrest extremely seriously. Even if you're holding just a tiny bit of ma*****na for a friend, if it's found in your possession, you could end up serving jail time.

If you are found guilty of possessing two ounces or less of ma*****na, you will most likely be convicted of a Class B Misdemeanor and can serve up to 180 days in jail and face up to a $2,000 fine. There's also a chance the judge will order drug treatment and/or community service. You will also lose your driver's license for 6 months or more.

There may not be much you can do to sway our state's lawmakers, but you can get a good drug crime attorney to take your case on. Many times, law enforcement officers violate search and seizure laws; if that is what happened in your situation, you may be able to get the charges thrown out.

🦃 Planning your Thanksgiving fun? Remember: Those holiday drinks can lead to more than just family drama! DWI checkpoints are EVERYWHERE on Thanksgiving night. Save your money for Black Friday - get a ride share, designate a driver, or crash on the couch. Your freedom is worth way more than that $20 Uber! .

Don't Be a Turkey - Avoid Getting Arrested For DWI On Thanksgiving

So Thanksgiving is upon us, which means family gatherings - and alcohol. All too often people are having a good time and lose track of just how much they've had to drink. Or maybe there's that relative you just can't stand so you're drinking as an escape. All too often the result is an arrest for driving while intoxicated - which puts a real damper on your holiday. No matter who cooks your Thanksgiving dinner I'm pretty sure it's going to be better than what you get in jail. And you'll appreciate that annoying relative after you spend some time with your new best friends in the county jail.
So how can you avoid the nightmare of a DWI arrest - and still have a good time? Here are a few tips.
DON'T DRINK ALCOHOL
Okay - I realize this is a little obvious. But think about this. The only time many people see their family is during the holidays. Maybe that's a good thing, but maybe you think it's worth more than it is. In the end, it is your family who will be there for you. So why not try to get along?
DON'T GIVE THEM A REASON TO STOP YOU
Whether you are intoxicated or not, no one likes to be pulled over by the police. There are a few things you can do to avoid getting stopped, which you can find here.
DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE
Another obvious one I know. But if you really can't stand your family and need a few drinks, go out in the backyard, and don't go down to the local bar.
DRINK IN MODERATION
This is probably a little more reasonable, since a lot of people have a few glasses of wine during dinner, or maybe a few drinks before dinner. Since it's not illegal to Drink and Drive - despite all the TV ads - you need to know where you are over the legal limit, which is .08 in Texas.
My final advice is to ENJOY YOURSELF. You only live once. Take it from someone who has already lost their mother and father, mother-in-law and father-in-law and wife - you need to make the most of every opportunity you have because someday all you will have is memories. Who wouldn't rather have happy memories to look back on, than the memory of getting pulled over and spending the night in jail?
Have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Life after prison isn't always complete freedom. The distinction between parole and supervised release affects thousands of former inmates. Both systems aim to help reintegration while maintaining public safety, but they operate differently and have distinct requirements. Understanding these differences is crucial for anyone involved in the criminal justice system.
