Jurisdiction: TEXAS
My Niece just got arrested and charged with: "Possession Of A Controlled Substance With Intentent To Distribute (Heroin), more than 1 gram - less than 4 grams, Penalty Group One.
She was caught with 3 grams of Heroin in her car, then they made her go back to her house where they found 11 more grams of Heroin.
She was caught with 14 grams of Heroin total.
She has two prior felony drug convitions that she has served time on. One a State Jail Felony (poss of Methamphetamine), the other a felony (poss of Heroin and ICE) that they let her sit out in County.
I have looked and looked at the Texas Penal Code and cannot find the penalty range for POACS WITD a Penaly Group One Drug.
My Question is: What is she facing? 5-99 or life?
Is it aggrevated because of the quantity?
Any info would be good.
Thanks,
Mark
