Marijuana/Cannabis & Drug Crimes

Proven Local Counsel For Marijuana-Related Offenses

California, Colorado, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and other states across the country may be loosening their restrictions on marijuana use; however, Texas marijuana laws are still among the most strict in the nation. You can jeopardize your future when you transport marijuana and other consumables infused with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) across state lines.


Police and highway patrol officers have dramatically increased traffic stops along Highway 287 and 380, trying to prevent individuals from bringing cannabis oils and THC-laced edibles and drinks into the state. Whether you are an out-of-state driver or a Texas resident charged with a drug offense, it is critical to work with a knowledgeable criminal defense attorney. The legal team at Law Offices of Steven Williams is ready and equipped to help. Call us today at (940) 627-6060!

We Aggressively Challenge Cannabis And Edibles Charges

Our attorney has more than 45 years of trial experience in Texas. We use this background when we advise you of your best options and develop an aggressive defensive strategy.


Steven Williams is licensed to represent you in misdemeanor and felony charges related to:

  • Possession of marijuana
  • Possession of cannabis oils, edibles or beverages containing THC
  • Possession with intent to distribute
  • Cannabis trafficking
  • Possession of marijuana
  • Possession of cannabis oils, edibles or beverages containing THC
  • Possession with intent to distribute
  • Cannabis trafficking

Because THC is a concentrated form of marijuana, the penalties attached to possession, distribution or trafficking are more severe than penalties connected to marijuana offenses. While possessing up to 4 ounces of marijuana plant is a misdemeanor violation, possessing a THC-infused edible is a felony offense.


The chocolates, brownies, gummies, hard candies and other edibles that contain THC are often heavier than marijuana leaves that are smoked. If you are caught with these edibles in your possession, you will be charged for the edible’s total weight. The maximum fine for even small amounts of THC is up to $10,000 and a 180-day mandatory minimum sentence.


You can depend on us to explore all legal options when we represent you. We know the stakes are high in drug cases which is why we take action from day one.

Drug Crimes

We provide representation for drug charges including possession, manufacturing, distribution and intent to sell. Certain drug crimes fall under state jurisdiction but still come with serious penalties.


At the Law Offices of Steven Williams, our lawyer is a skilled negotiator who can help you arrange a favorable plea bargain. If the state is unreasonable, he will provide you with the strongest possible defense at trial.


We handle all types of drug offenses, including:


  • Possession of marijuana and THC edibles and products
  • Illegal possession of prescription drugs such as OxyContin, Percocet, Xanax or Vicodin
  • Possession of meth
  • Possession of cocaine or heroin
  • Possession with intent to deliver or trafficking in illegal drugs

Do I Have A Defense?

There is always something that an experienced drug defense lawyer can do improve your situation. The following are just a few examples:

  • Examine the circumstances of the search and drug seizure. If the police violated your constitutional rights, the evidence may be suppressed.
  • Determine if you qualify for deferred adjudication or Pre-trial Diversion. If so, you could avoid a damaging felony or misdemeanor conviction.
  • Enroll you in a drug treatment program. Doing so can keep the emphasis on rehabilitation, not incarceration.

Allow us to use our experience and our understanding of the criminal justice system to minimize the consequences of a drug arrest.
