Giving Somebody a Fraudulent Prescription for a Controlled Substance

[mnew06]

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Texas

I was a medical assistant at a doctors office and I gave a patient a prescription that the doctor had already signed. I was then charged. Am I looking at prison time or probation? No previous offenses.

Clearly there's a lot more to the story. You haven't shared how (if it's what you're saying) you came into possession of a signed, but otherwise blank prescription form. You haven't told us why you were targeted for investigation. You haven't told us why you gave this patient the prescription -- for example, if you were selling prescriptions for controlled substances to patients. The full facts will affect your defense, plea offers, and the like.

You should be working with a criminal defense lawyer.
